Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This chapter defines subnational/state constitutions as basic documents for given subnational entities which lay down entrenched basic rules on subnational identity, representative structures, organization of powers, fundamental rights and/or policy principles, and require the approval of the people or representatives of the subnational entity. To this end, the chapter deals with problems related to the three main components of the definition: (i) what are constitutions, (ii) what are subnational or state entities, and (iii) what does it mean for a constitution to be ‘adopted’ by a subnational or constituent state entity? Based on the definition, several hypotheses are developed with regards to subnational constitutions and constitutional autonomy. |
