Laura Cahillane, Donal Coffey - The Centenary of the Irish Free State Constitution: Constituting a Polity?
English | 2024 | Palgrave Macmillan | ISBN: 9783031461804 (ISBN10: 3031461800) | 299 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book deals with a very timely the role, development, and legacy of the first Constitution of independent Ireland within the wider context of the establishment of the State. The 1920s have been receiving increased attention from historians recently (after decades of relative neglect), and the centenary of the State's foundation will augment that attention. This book continues a recent trend of re-examination of this period and looks at key themes, such as the establishment of institutions under the Irish Free State Constitution and the focus on the ideals of popular sovereignty and democracy. It does so from novel and cross-disciplinary perspectives, and it also looks at areas which have received little to no previous attention; from individual aspects like property rights, the Irish language and environmental rights to aspects such as opposition and partition.
