A quiz on the European Constitution
A constitution is a document that embodies the fundamental principles of a country or a group of countries. It guarantees the powers and duties of the government. It also guarantees some rights of citizens.
A constitution addresses the following questions:
How do the institutions work?
How is the division of powers arranged?
What means can be used to implement policies?
What values are endorsed?
What are the citizens’ fundamental rights?
The European Constitution is both a treaty subject to the rules of international law and a constitution. In legal terms, it remains a treaty, which will be applied only when all member states of the European Union have ratified it through parliamentary procedure or referendum.
