Open Source MediaConstitutions with Kim Scheppele (June 7, 2005)

ÂNon, ÂNee and now the UK isnÂt even going to ask. The European Constitution itself is a massive document of more than 250 pages and 448  or is it 465?  articles, drafted via a year-long, open access process. But somewhere the process  and the PR  failed. The U.S. constitution has only seven articles, and its writers knew it had to be simple and readable if it was going to pass. We want to know whatÂs in a constitution: whether the key is in the writing or the ratifying or the PR or all of it. Was the American experience an anomaly  or an example?
