The book became a standard work which
was translated into several languages. Bagehot began his book by saying, do not be fooled by constitutional theories and formal institutional
continuities– concentrate instead on the real centers of power and the practical
working of the political system. He dismissed the two theories of the division
of powers and of checks and balances as erroneous.
The note focuses on
public comparative law and on EU law. It also analyses the different legal
traditions of the world in their interrelations with constitutional designs, as
well as on the regulation of economic activities having recourse to the
comparative method.
