Description

Most constitutional theory focuses heavily on the role of courts, often overlooking the vital importance of legislative bodies. The Least Examined Branch: The Role Of Legislatures In The Constitutional State changes this perspective by examining how legislatures function within a regime of constitutional democracy. This academic work brings together leading constitutional scholars and political scientists to explore the multifaceted nature of legislative power. It covers essential topics including democratic theory, the processes of legislating and deliberating, and the role of legislatures in constitution-making. Readers will gain insights into legislative and popular constitutionalism, as well as the dialogic role legislatures play. This includes their domestic interactions with other institutions and their international connections with other legislatures. This book is a necessary resource for anyone studying the balance of power and the function of democratic institutions in the modern constitutional state.
