A new database launched by the University of Chicago called Constitute is a searchable archive of the world’s constitutions. It includes just about every constitution out there, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Tom Ginsburg, a professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School and co- director of the Comparative Constitutions Project, helped create the database. He joins us to tell us more about the project. (Photo: https://www.constituteproject.org)
