🎉 I have accepted an offer to publish my paper "Is an Unamendable Constitution Undemocratic?" with the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law @PennJCL! 📝 In the paper, I make the case that unamendability is not a technology worth encoding in any constitution. I draw from the results of a first-of-its-kind global survey of constitutional experts to show that unamendability takes a toll on both legality and legitimacy. 📜 My principal purpose in the paper is to steer constitution-makers away from designing constitutions that induce incumbents to follow the path of illegality when they feel handcuffed to an unamendable constitution. I offer detailed recommendations for designing constitutions to be always amendable, while simultaneously protecting the core of the constitution and its highest values. 📰 The full-text of the paper is available here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. 🙏🏽 Thank you to the editors of the @PennJCL for accepting my paper!
