These courses address the fundamental questions that face people drafting or revising constitutions: How does one design a system of government to fit the histories, cultures, and aspirations of a country's people. What are the choices or models available from other countries. Which models work under which conditions and why. How might designers think about the process of borrowing and/or modifying such models. How should the constitutional drafting/revision process itself be designed. These issues are of relevance to people who hope to work in the State Department, international organizations (such as the UN), and many non-governmental organizations. These classes also provide a valuable perspective from which to think about the Constitution and process of government in the U.S.
