Summary
"Much of the book is devoted to the detailed exposition and comparative analysis of the draft constitution for an independent Scotland published by the Scottish National Party (SNP) in 2002. The 2014 draft interim Constitution presented by the Scottish Government is also examined, and the two texts are contrasted to show the changing nature of the SNP's constitutional policy: from liberal-procedural constitutionalism in pursuit of a more inclusive polity, to a more populist and majoritarian constitutionalism."--Page 4 of cover.
