Constitutional Law - New Challenges

Constitutional law is the body of law that defines the relationship of different entities within a state, namely, the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary. All nation-states (except the UK,) have codified constitutions, though all such states have a jus commune, or law of the land, that may consist of a variety of imperative and consensual rules and there are 7 principles of Constitution, namely; popular sovereignty, Republicanism, Federalism, Separation of Powers, Check and Balance, Limited Government and Individual rights. The New Challenges need altogether new and distinct treatment separate from what is there in any book of the Constitution, that you can see after you go through this book. The Current edition is exhaustively innovated. Many new chapters relevant to Constitutional Philosophy have been added. Syllabi of different universities have also been consulted so that the work remains useful to students and other common readers interested in the subject.
