・現実的な選択をすればいい 　護憲か、改憲か。 　いつものように、お互いに相いれない主張がぶつかり合い、感情的な言葉のやり取りが繰り広げられている。 　ある国会議員は言う。現行憲法はアメリカによる押し付けであり、この憲法下で日本人は平和ボケし、近隣諸国から馬鹿にされ、領海を侵犯されても手も足も出せない状態になっている。だからこれをすぐに改めなくてはならないと。 　日本維新の会は、その綱領の中で、「日本を孤立と軽蔑の対象に貶め、絶対平和という非現実的な共同幻想を押し付けた元凶である占領憲法を大幅に改正し、国家、民族を真の自立に導き、国家を蘇生させる」と言っている。 　いさましくも空疎な言葉の羅列と言わざるをえない。「国家を蘇生させる」ということは、今は瀕死であるのか、すでに死んじゃっているのか、大変な事態であるようだ。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

How did the founding generation intend for us to interpret and apply the Constitution? Are liberals right when they cite its “elastic” clauses to justify big government, or are conservatives right when they cite its explicit limits on federal power? Professor Brion McClanahan, popular author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers, finds the answers by going directly to the source—the Founders themselves, who debated all the relevant issues in their state constitutional conventions.

If a country's Gross Domestic Product increases each year, but so does the percentage of its people deprived of basic education, health care, and other opportunities, is that country really making progress? If we rely on conventional economic indicators, can we ever grasp how the world's billions of individuals are really managing? In this powerful critique, Martha Nussbaum argues that our dominant theories of development have given us policies that ignore our most basic human needs for dignity and self-respect.

In 1987, E. L. Doctorow celebrated the Constitution's bicentennial by reading it. "It is five thousand words long but reads like fifty thousand," he said. Distinguished legal scholar Garrett Epps disagrees. It's about 7,500 words.

In this book he seeks not to provide a definitive interpretation, but to listen to the language and ponder its meaning.

La costituzione è la legge fondamentale dello Stato italiano. La costituzione elenca i principi fondamentali su cui si basa la Repubblica Italiana, primo tra tutti il lavoro. Essa contiene inoltre i diritti e i doveri dei cittadini e i principi dell'ordinamento della Repubblica, che prescrivono il funzionamento delle istituzioni democratiche. La costituzione si ispira fondamentalmente a principi anti-autoritari e anti-fascisti, poichè la Repubblica fu proclamata dai partigiani nel dopoguerra alla fine del regime di Mussolini.
