The illustrated dictionary of constitutional concepts

In The Illustrated Dictionary of Constitutional Concepts, Robert L. Maddex defines and summarizes the history of more than three hundred basic constitutional concepts and frequently used terms from absolute majority to yeas and nays. Definitions are supplemented with excerpts from actual constitutions and profiles of fifty personalities - from Plato and Aristotle to Thomas Jefferson to Mikhail Gorbachev - who have influenced constitutions throughout the world.

Illustrations document influential constitutional figures and events from ancient Greece to the modern day.
