Select Constitutions of the World

Select Constitutions of the World by M.V. Pylee (Fourth Edition) is a practitioner-minded comparative reference that collects representative constitutional texts from a curated set of countries and pairs them with concise explanatory notes and cross-references. Organized by topic—constitutional structure, separation of powers, fundamental rights, amendment mechanisms, emergency powers and federal arrangements—the volume enables quick thematic comparisons between constitutional systems. Each constitutional extract is accompanied by an author’s note that highlights interpretive issues, historical context and procedural implications, helping readers translate text into institutional meaning.
