The Making of the Irish Constitution 1937: Bunreacht Na HÉireann
"Few things have shaped and controlled Irish political and legal culture as decisively as the constitution of Ireland but the circumstances in which it was created have, until now, remained obscure. The Making of the Irish Constitution is an authoritative account of the drafting of this document in which Ireland's fundamental laws are enshrined. It puts the Irish constitution in a clear historical perspective and examines the political context of the beginnings of the constitution in 1930s Ireland." "Set against the background of constitutional developments following the foundation of the state, the authors chart the passage of the constitution through the drafting process. They identify the roles of particular legal, administrative and religious personnel who contributed to the making of this extremely important document, a document which defined the nature of the modern Irish state."--BOOK JACKET.
