This book challenges traditional theories of constitution-making to advance an alternative view of constitutions as being founded on power which rests on violence.
The work argues that rather than the idea of a constitution being the result of political participation and deliberation, all power instead is based on violence. Hence the creation of a constitution is actually an act of coercion, where, through violence, one social group is able to impose itself over others. The book advocates that the presence of violence be used as an assessment of whether genuine constitutional transformation has taken place, and that the legitimacy of a constitutional order should be dependent upon the absence of killing.
The book will be essential reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of constitutional law and politics, legal and political theory, and constitutional history.

"Héctor López Bofill's offers a powerful argument showing that all states and instances of true constitutional transformation (including those that have led to liberal constitutional orders), have at their origin episodes of violence and death. His book is a historically and theoretically informed analysis, traversing multiple jurisdictions, that directly challenges contemporary approaches to popular constitution-making".

"Supported on an astounding command of contemporary debates in constitutional and political theory, López Bofill reconstructs the origins of old and new constitutional democracies from an unsettling perspective. This is indeed a worthy read that will provide insight and food for thought to analysts of constitutional matters worldwide."
