In a collection of essays bringing together scholars from several constitutional systems and disciplines, \u003cem\u003ePhilosophical Foundations of Constitutional Law \u003c\/em\u003eunites the debate in a study of the philosophical issues at the very foundations of the idea of a constitution: why one might be necessary; what problems it must address; what problems constitutions usually address; and some of the issues raised by the administration of a constitutional regime. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough these issues of institutional design are of abiding importance, many of them have taken on new significance in the last few years as law-makers have been forced to return to first principles in order to justify novel practices and arrangements in their constitutional orders. Thus, questions of constitutional 'revolutions', challenges to the demands of the rule of law, and the separation of powers have taken on new and pressing importance. The essays in this volume address these questions, filling the gap in the philosophical analysis of constitutional law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume will provoke specialists in philosophy, politics, and law to develop new philosophically grounded analyses of constitutional law, and will be a valuable resource for graduate students in law, politics, and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Dyzenhaus\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eUniversity Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Toronto\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e Malcolm Thorburn\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Law, University of Toronto\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Dyzenhaus\u003c\/strong\u003e is University Professor of Law and Philosophy at the University of Toronto.
