Constitutions and the Design of Government
Web LinksConstitution of the United States: Analysis and Interpretation,
maintained by the Congressional Research Service
This site offers annotations of cases decided by the Supreme Court, as they impact
different aspects of the American Constitution. Various historical and
current files can be downloaded as text or Adobe-type files, including
the text of the Constitution, the amendments, and proposed but
unratified amendments. The major contribution of this official
government site is that it allows you to focus in on a particular
article (section) of the Constitution and browse its relevant cases. http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/senate/constitution/toc.htmlInternational Constitutional Law Project
Simply, this site has the recent constitutions, amendments, commentaries, etc.
associated with the constitutions of a long list of countries. http://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/law/index.html Foreign and International Law Resources on the Internet: Annotated List,
maintained by the Cornell Law Library
This is an excellent site for all aspects of foreign and international law.
There are easy to browse guides on foreign law, American law, supranational
organizations, and various other topics. The annotations make surfing quite
efficient. http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/library/International_Resources/default.htm FindLaw: International Legal Resources
This is a well-organized site for all aspects of law (including firms, laws,
legal news, etc.). This site on international law fits better into
this chapter than in the chapter on "international law" because
it lists most countries of the world, providing one the opportunity to
browse through the laws of each different countries. Thus, this site has
less of an emphasis on laws between countries (international law), but
rather laws within countries - which either draw directly or indirectly
from their various constitutions. http://www.findlaw.com/12international/countries/ University of Michigan Documents Center: Foreign Government
Resources
Michigan's site is probably the best overall in terms of
ease of use and coverage. For anyone interested in any aspect of
comparative government (and that would probably include any of you in
the course browsing right now!), this is an excellent starting place
for research or browsing in any area. Foreign government Web sites
are listed by region, while related information is available such as
constitutions, embassies, and other various statistics. http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/foreign.html
