Professor Levy examines the roots of our contemporary challenges to constitutional democracy, and traces these to the development of one of constitutionalism’s central institutions: the separation of powers. He explains how the visible fragility of constitutional democracy is, in real part, a fragility of the separation of powers, and how addressing the one requires also addressing the other.
The McDonald Lecture is presented by the Centre for Constitutional Studies through an endowment to the Faculty of Law in Memory of Justice David C. McDonald.
