| Title | Distinguishing arbitrary from legitimate constitutional amendments in countries with ever-changing constitutions: a comparative perspective between Kyrgyzstan, France and Brazil |
| Summary | Constitutions, being the main law of the state, tend to change due to different circumstances. Some change rarely, others change very often. In the situation, when constitutions have a tendency to change often it is very difficult to assess the legitimacy of the amendments. Therefore, the present research aims to distinguish between arbitrary and legitimate constitutional amendments. The insight to conduct this research comes from the problem that have taken place in Kyrgyzstan, where political elites often used constitutional amendments for personal benefits. France and Brazil are the examples of countries, whose constitutions have also had many constitutional amendments both of legitimate and arbitrary character. Therefore, I will analyze the constitutional history of all three countries and will try distinguishing between arbitrary and legitimate constitutional changes. |
