I would love love love to see this effort individually applied to the French and EU constitutions.
I've heard the EU constitution is very bloated and gets into all sorts of minutiae. I've heard the French constitution has undergone a great deal of modifications across a span of many republics.
These two examples I've heard about in the context of being ridiculed in some comedic comments by some pundits and I always wanted to substantiate whether the substance of those jests was fair and accurate or exaggerated. Converting these two constitutional histories to Git would be incredibility insightful, probably even worthy of crowd funding.
- umanwizard 7y agoThe current French constitution was written entirely from scratch in 1958. Saying it’s been modified a lot is a bit muddled. What actually happened is that the old constitutions are no longer in force and entirely new ones came into effect. The 1958 constitution is France’s fifth (not counting constitutional monarchies), which is why the current French regime is called the “fifth Republic”.
