Comparing Constitutions Online

The AALL Spectrum Blog on the website of the American Association of Law Libraries had an item last week about the free website Constitute based at the University of Texas at Austin,

The website not only contains 194 constitutions from around the world, it also allows you to compare constitutions by topic.

Topics include such things as amendment procedure, citizenship, indigenous groups, religion, language, citizenship, elections, structure of the executive, federalism, secession, references to international law, treaty-making, the judiciary, structure and powers of the legislature, independent agencies and commissions, rights and duties.
