power and their proclivity to change their laws. For centuries, political
theorists have recognized the distinctively democratic tendency
to modify laws, yet this very capacity has given pause to democrats,
and they have sought to restrict radically their ability to exercise this
authority. As a consequence, democrats have resorted to “entrenchment”
– the use of irrevocable laws – as a means of countering their
tendency to engage in legal change. |
