Product description

This book guides the student of constitutional law in the study of this field.

It is primarily aimed at providing a comprehensive exposition of the primary sources of the field of constitutional law in a logically structured way and in plain language. Judgments of the courts in which the text of the Constitution was interpreted and contextualised authoritatively, are discussed in a clear and concise way, thus rendering the topical meaning of the Constitution accessible to the reader.
