Consitutionalism is a non-quadrant ideology that can be defined either as a political system based on the constitution and constitutional methods of governance or as the mechanism of state power limited by the constitution.

According to Gerhard Casper: "Constitutionalism has both descriptive and prescriptive connotations. Used descriptively, it refers chiefly to the historical struggle for constitutional recognition of the people's right to 'consent' and certain other rights, freedoms, and privileges. Used prescriptively, its meaning incorporates those features of government seen as the essential elements of the... Constitution".

History

Constitutionalism has its origins in the ancient Greek constitutions of centuries before our era, which are known only from the works of Aristotle. During the period of the Principate, together with the acts of the Roman Senate, imperial prescriptions of various kinds appeared, which were called constitutions (constitutio ediktum, mandatum, decretum, rescriptum). Their content and place in the development of the legal system of Rome is of interest primarily as a stepping stone into the etymology of the concept.

Closer to the modern notion of the constitutional acts of the Magna Carta ( Kingdom of England, 1215), Bill of Rights (England, 1688 or 1689), which already see the constitutional ideas of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen ( France, 1789) that human rights should be recognized as "natural, inalienable, sacred" are examined.

The formation of constitutionalism in the world is associated with the formation of the constitutional order in the developed countries of Europe and America during the struggle against feudal absolutism in the XVII century.

France

Flag of French Constitutionalists

The Society of the Friends of the Constitution was initially founded in 1789 by anti-royalist deputies from Brittany. The club eventually grew into a nationwide  republican movement, with a membership estimated to be around half a million or more. The club was heterogenous and included the two most prominent French political factions in the early 1790s,  The Mountain and the Girondins.

Between 1792 and 1793, the Girondins were the leading faction in the club, but, as Montagnard influence grew within the National Convention, the Girondins were being increasingly sidelined, and they were eventually disbarred from the National Convention, beginning a period of Montagnard dominance that lasted until July 1794.

The period of Montagnard dominance, known as the Reign of Terror, featured high levels of political violence and a large amount of executions. After multiple suppressed insurrections, the National Convention managed to push the Montagnards out off power and had Robespierre and 21 of his associates executed. The Jacobin Club closed in November 1794.

The first constitution in Poland was ratified by Stanisław August Poniatowski on May 5, 1791, hence the common name Constitution of 3 May 1791, but later it was overthrown by the Targowica Confederation, supported by the Russians.

  • Jacobinism - It was going so well... WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!
  • Enlightened Absolutism - Uh, I guess you're okay, but where's the constitution?
  • Indigenism - Has some good ideas, but is still a lawless savage. Thanks for letting me plagiarize the great law of peace from you, though.

  1. Historically for free white men only.
  2. For ceremonial reasons, certain leadership roles such as council representatives for respective nations of the confederacy typically were based on a certain degree of hereditary lineage from previous leaders, Though this was not always the case, and at times, roles of leadership also were heavily dependant on the merits of individuals within the confederacy as well as popular support, meaning that ceremonial lineage, alongside popularity, and individual merit all played a significant role in determining representatives for individual nations within the confederacy. Despite this, the power of council representatives mainly was to serve as the voice of their population's will within the council, rather than having any actual top-down authority over their population.
  3. Despite being completely unlike slavery in our modern understanding of the term, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy did participate in acts that could vaguely be defined as a form of slavery, this would be done by leading ceremonial "Mourning Wars" against rival nations, where Haudenosaunee warriors would capture enemies of the rival nation both as a form of revenge for their slaughtered warriors, and to serve as effective replacements for their recently fallen. As contrasted to slavery in our modern sense of the term, these individuals would become full members of the nation over time, and similar methods of "forced adoptions" have been frequently practiced in countless tribal societies both in and outside of the America's across history.
