, QUESTION 3
Karl Klare describes transformative constitutionalism in the following words:
“Transformative constitutionalism connotes an enterprise of inducing large-scale
social change through nonviolent political processes grounded in law. I have in mind
a transformation vast enough to be inadequately captured by the phrase 'reform,' but
something short of or different from 'revolution' in any traditional sense of the word.”
