Constitutional Code

"Constitutional Code, Volume 1: For the Use of All Nations and All Governments Professing Liberal Opinions" presents Jeremy Bentham's comprehensive framework for an ideal constitutional system. Bentham, a leading figure in the development of utilitarianism and legal positivism, outlines principles and structures intended to maximize societal well-being and ensure accountable governance.

This foundational work explores the organization of government, the distribution of powers, and the safeguarding of individual rights within a liberal framework. Bentham's detailed proposals reflect his commitment to rationalizing law and governance, offering a blueprint for nations seeking to establish just and efficient institutions. A vital resource for scholars of political theory, legal history, and constitutionalism, this volume remains relevant for anyone interested in the enduring questions of how to construct a government that serves the interests of its citizens.
