Ever wonder which countries have constitutional provisions protecting freedom of expression? Or if the United States is unique in providing a constitutional right to bear arms? A new resource from the Comparative Constitutions Project can help you answer these questions and more! Their recently launched Constitute Project contains information about over 175 constitutions from around the world. You can choose to read a particular country’s constitution, search the full-text of the documents, or browse constitutional provisions by topic. If you browse by topic, you can select from over 300 different options and see a list of countries with provisions on that subject, along with the text from the constitutions. Broad topic areas include Amendment, Culture and Identity, Elections, Executive, Federalism, International Law, Judiciary, Legislature, Principles and Symbols, Regulation and Oversight, and Rights and Duties.
