| Summary | "The Irish Constitution" by Darrell Figgis is a legal and political treatise written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the principles of the Irish Constitution, explaining its significance and structure within the context of Ireland’s unique historical experience and aspirations for nationhood. Figgis aims to articulate the foundational laws governing the Irish state and highlights the role of the people as sovereign, a theme central to modern constitutional thought. At the start of the treatise, Figgis introduces the concept of a constitution, reflecting on its permanence as a foundational document that secures the stability of the state. He discusses the essential functions of a constitution, which includes outlining the governance framework, ensuring the rights of the populace, and establishing the relationship between the government and its citizens. Figgis emphasizes that the authority derives from the people, marking a significant departure from historical practices where sovereignty resided in monarchs or colonial powers. Through this opening, the author sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of Ireland's constitutional framework, positioning it as a pivotal moment for asserting national identity and self-governance.
