THIS volume contains the texts, in English translation where English is not the 

 original language, of the constitutions or fundamental laws of the Argentine 

 nation, Australia, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, 

 France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, 

 Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. These constitutions have not 

 heretofore been available in any one English collection, and a number of them have 



1 not before appeared in English translation. 



Each translation has been carefully made, and the constitutional texts are given 

 as now in force. Notes to the constitutions have been given sparingly, and have 

 been confined almost entirely to information regarding constitutional amendments, 

 election laws, and other matters absolutely necessary for the understanding ot the 

 texts. Each constitution is preceded by a brief historical introduction, and is fol- 

 lowed by a select list of the most important books dealing with the government ot 

 the country under consideration.
