A constitution establishes the imagined social, legal and political frameworks for a society. Constitutions can be a set of written aspirations and outlines, or collections of traditions and practices that represent the “civil” expectations within a legal and political system. Constitutional law is that body of law that is the constitution, whether by tradition or in writing, as well as the layers and collections of the interpretations of the law and the jurisprudence (legal theory) behind these. But, it is also the study of the constitution and those constitutional practices, including debates on the meaning and legitimacy of them. In this course, we will examine the history of Constitutional Law, from Roman, Jewish and Medieval European Law (e.g., Theodosian Code, Law of the Visigoths, the Magna Carta), to the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Napoleonic Code. We will see within these the close relationship between Judaism and the origins of Constitution
