No province in Canada has codified a written constitution. A Written Constitution for Québec? enters into the debate of whether Quebec should be the first. Taking a doctrinal, historical, theoretical and comparative approach, and addressing the issue from a variety of perspectives, this volume is a vital resource in navigating Quebec’s constitutional future in Canada.

No province in Canada has codified a written constitution, and whether Quebec should be the first remains a controversial question. A Written Constitution for Quebec? enters into the debate, drawing a roadmap through the legal, political, and constitutional terrain of the issue.
Leading scholars each take their own position in the debate, examining the issue from various sides and exploring the forms and limits of a codified Quebec constitution by asking whether Quebec should adopt a written constitution, how the province might go about it, and what such a document might achieve. Along with a comprehensive introduction to constitutional codification and how it relates to Quebec, the book opens with a proposal for a written constitution, with the analyses that follow expressing a diversity of views on the feasibility and desirability of a written constitution for the province. An array of perspectives through the lenses of Indigenous inclusion and reconciliation, interculturalism and democratic constitutionalism, and insights from other federal and plurinational states – are included in this wide-ranging volume.
Taking a doctrinal, historical, theoretical, and comparative approach, A Written Constitution for Quebec? extensively addresses Quebec’s constitutional future in Canada.

Richard Albert is professor of world constitutions at the University of Texas at Austin. Leonid Sirota is associate professor at the School of Law at the University of Reading.
