About this document
Understanding Constitutionalism History by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes the concept of constitutionalism and its historical background. Constitutionalism arises as a creation against monarchical absolutism to limit power through a written constitution that establishes individual freedom, rights, and the separation of powers. Some of the early precedents include the Magna Carta of 1215 and the Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776, while the first modern constitutions emerged in England, the United States, and France in the 15th century.
