Books by Edward McWhinney

In response to the general crisis in law and society in contemporary western and communist nations alike, and to the need for new relations between man and the state, Professor McWhinney presents a comparative study of constitutions and constitution-making.

This is the third edition of a comparative analysis of the constitution of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the United States, giving particular attention to the effect of judicial interpretation of legislation in each of these countries.

In these stimulating and thoughtful essays Professor McWhinney brings a fresh and up-to-date view to bear on the nature of federalism, the problems of such a system of government in the complications of modern times, and the role of the reviewing courts within that system.

This volume follows on Professor McWhinney's Quebec and the Constitution 1960-1978 but is more than a mere sequel. McWhinney draws on wide knowledge and extensive personal contacts to portray the players and the events in this last, complex chapter in the patriation drama.

Edward McWhinney offers the first thorough analysis of nearly two decades of constitutional development. His book examines Quebec's demands since 1960 for social, economic, linguistic, and political self-determination, and the implications of these demands for our federal system.
