Abstract
Examination of the state-centric dynamics of constitutions can only partially illuminate the multi-faceted characteristics of constitutional law. A statist focus often obscures both internal and external dimensions of constitutions themselves, and of the broader structures and patterns of governance that exist within and beyond nations. Either explicitly or implicitly, constitutions speak to the sub- as well as to the inter- and supra-national, and provide a lens through which obligations and pressures arising in each differing context might be reflected. Constitutions are, as such, inherently multi-layered.
