    Questions

    (1) Discuss how theories of horizontal separation of powers have developed after Montesquieu. You should
    draw on the theories of Bruce Ackerman and David Landau in your answer. You should also take a
    position on whether these new theories have a value/purpose in conceptualizing separation of powers in
    developing countries.

    (2) What is the purpose of federalism? Is it simply a method of administration or does it confer substantive
    benefits? Write an essay outlining your views on the value/s, if any, of federalism within a democratic
    constitutional framework. Your essay should draw upon examples from jurisdictions covered in the class
    readings and discussions.

    (3) Discuss the Scalia-Breyer Debate that we examined in the first week of class. Who do you think has the
    better of the arguments? And what does the nature of their debate tell us about the state of comparative
    constitutional law today?

    (4) What is the concept of constitutional identity and how does it contribute to the delimitation of diverse
    constitutional models? How does the process of constitution making and of constitutional interpretation
    produce constitutional identity?

    (5) Choose any of the rights studied in Weeks 9-14. Write an essay that discusses at least two different
    approaches to conceptualizing and/or enforcing this right. Your essay should take a position on which of
    these approaches is preferable and give reasons to support that position. Alternatively, you may discuss
    how two or more approaches are flawed and suggest your own method of conceptualization and/or
    enforcement.

    (6) Since 1945, there has been an exponential rise in the number of countries with written constitutions
    enforced by specialized constitutional courts. Is the rise of judicial review a positive development?
    Drawing on readings and discussions in class, make a case either for or against the “judicialization” of
    politics in the past half-century.
