Nomodos signals a conference on constitutional history held at the Casa Velazquez in Madrid, co-organised by the LAMOP (Paris-I). Starting from a broad concept of "Constitution", as a set of norms guaranteeing, defining and determining the relationship between society and the exercice power over it, texts from the High Middle Ages to the Age of Enlightenment, from the Magna Charta to the French Lois Fondamentales, are presented by specialists.

A full program can be found on the Casa de Velazquez website.
