Constituent power in federal constitutions

制宪权的概念是公法的基础。该项目旨在提供第一个系统的和理论的概念，因为它体现在联邦检查。制宪权的概念最早是在单一制国家中发展起来的。因此，它在联邦中的作用很少被探讨。预期成果包括对联邦中的制宪权进行系统的比较分析，并发展多元制宪权理论。预期的益处包括深入了解联邦制度（包括澳大利亚）的宪法基础、解释联邦宪法的新方法以及规划合法宪法改革的途径。

The concept of constituent power is fundamental to public law. This project aims to provide the first systematic and theoretical examination of the concept as it manifests in federations. The idea of constituent power was first developed in unitary states. Consequently, its role in federations has rarely been explored. Expected outcomes include a systematic comparative analysis of constituent power in federations and the development of a theory of pluralised constituent power. Expected benefits include the generation of insights into the constitutional foundations of federal systems (including Australia), new approaches to the interpretation of federal constitutions and mapping of pathways for legitimate constitutional reform.
