"The present book studies the text of leading constitutions of the world. In all basic text of constitutions of thirty nations have been considered and depicted to show a comparative picture of the constitutions, foundation of the government as well as foundation of human rights in the world. Every type of constitution has been taken up for study whether it may be neutral, autocratic, Kingship, dictatorship, democratic or of any other kind that may be called non-democratic including communist, federal or unitary.

There was a necessity of bringing out such a book, keeping in view the heavy demand of human rights in the modern world, because the "Constitution of any nation is always the foundation of Human Rights". This book gives worldly picture of constitutional operations. The book also shows a path of framing new constitution for nations, which are increasingly becoming independent. The book would be useful for those countries, which are although independent and they have the constitution, but certain reforms are required or they want to leave their conservativeness or fundamentalism. It is must for students, faculty, judiciary, all in legal profession, and those interested in constitutional studies." (jacket)
