Abstract

This book identifies three approaches to understanding a constitution: the rational (drawn from Dicey), the conventional (drawn from Edward Coke) and the teleological (drawn from Aristotle). Drawing from an enormous background research into Canadian constitutional law, the author has identified how a classic legal judgement involves a contradiction between one or the other approach to understanding the nature of a constitution.
