Worth Reading: Constitutional Theory by Carl Schmitt

For those interested in constitutional theory and constituent power, check Carl Schmitt's book entitled "Constitutional Theory"..

The book was published in 1927 and translated from German into English in 2008.

"The will of the people to provide themselves a constitution can only be made evident through the act itself and not through observation of a normatively regulated process. Self-evidently, it can also not be judged by prior constitutional laws or those that were valid until then." (p. 131).
