Evolution of the Constitutionalism: From Ancient Greece to American Independence

Author(s) Mr. Deep Singh, Prof. Dr. S K Bose
Country India
Abstract Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive and detailed examination of the concept “constitutionalism” as a foundational and core principle of modern governance. It distinguishes between the constitution and constitutionalism, the philosophical doctrine that limits governmental power through separation of powers, rule of law and protection of the rights. The study traces the historical evolution of constitutional thought from Ancient Greece and Rome, highlighting the emergence of constitutionalism, to pivotal legal milestones such as the Magna Carta (1215) in England and the Golden Bull (1222) in Hungary.
Further, it examines England’s constitutional development through the Petition of Right (1628) and the Bill of Rights (1689), marking the transition from monarchy to parliamentary supremacy. The article also delves into the American colonial experience, emphasizing early democratic frameworks like the Mayflower Compact (1620) culminating in the revolutionary actions of the Continental Congresses.
Through comparative tables and historical analysis, the article underscores how constitutionalism evolved as a safeguard against arbitrary rule and a mechanism for empowering citizens. It concludes that constitutionalism is not merely a legal framework, but a dynamic and evolving ideology rooted in justice, liberty, and democratic accountability.
