What is the ancient Roman constitution? Is it a mixed constitution?
The ancient Roman constitution was a complex system of checks and balances that evolved over time. It consisted of various elements such as the Senate, the assemblies, and the magistrates, each with different roles and powers. While it had elements of a mixed constitution, with elements of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, it was not a pure mixed constitution like the one theorized by Aristotle. Instead, power in Rome was often concentrated in the hands of a few elite families, leading to periods of oligarchy and dictatorship.

Why is the German constitution called Basic Law and not Constitution?
The German constitution is called Basic Law (Grundgesetz) because it was initially intended to be a temporary document, serving as a provisional constitution for West Germany after World War II. The framers of the Basic Law did not want to give the impression that it was a permanent constitution, as they hoped for eventual reunification with East Germany and the creation of a new, unified constitution. However, as reunification did not occur until 1990, the Basic Law has continued to serve as the constitution for the unified Germany, despite its original temporary nature.

Constitution Illustrated
R. Sikoryak is the master of the pop culture pastiche. In Masterpiece Comics, he interpreted classic literature with defining twentieth-century comics.With Terms and Conditions, he made the unreadable contract that everyone signs, and no one reads, readable.He employs his magic yet again to investigate the very framework of the country with Constitution Illustrated.By visually interpreting the complete text of the supreme law of the land with more than a century of American pop culture icons, Sikoryak distills the very essence of the government legalese from the abstract to the tangible, the historical to the contemporary.Among Sikoryak s spot-on unions of government articles and amendments with famous comic-book characters: the Eighteenth Amendment that instituted prohibition is articulated with Homer Simpson running from Chief Wiggum; the Fourteenth Amendment that solidifies citizenship to all people born and naturalized in the United States is personified by Ms. Marvel; and, of course, the Nineteenth Amendment offering women the right to vote is a glorious depiction of Wonder Woman breaking free from her chains.American artists from George Herriman (Krazy Kat) and Charles Schulz (Peanuts) to Raina Telgemeier (Sisters) and Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For) are homaged, with their characters reimagined in historical costumes and situations.We the People has never been more apt.
