Constitutional Journey in the United States E-kniha

Constitutional Journey in the United States invites the readers on an intellectual voyage and offers a unique view to explore the current dilemmas and debates of the American constitutional thinking from the Head of Center for International Law at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium, Lénárd Sándor.
Through probing, insightful, and educational conversations with well-respected law professors and judges, leaders of universities, law schools and prestigious lawyers’ organizations, the author reveals the crucial divisions and stakes as well as captivating anecdotes of constitutional debates that underscore the importance of open, vivid and honest public debates. Offering this view is especially refreshing and invigorating in the rather technocratic and stifled atmosphere of European politics that tends to evade honest debates on the questions of fundamental importance to the communities and nations to Europe. As Benjamin Franklin famously pointed out at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention: “A republic, if you can keep it.” In this book, Lénárd Sándor showed the significance of this American experience that could serve as an important lesson on how to reinvigorate European public discourse.
