ParticipateDB

Special report by the United States Institute of Peace. About the Report Constitution making has become increasingly open and participatory.

These tools can improve public education on the constitution and the drafting process, inject meaningful expert guidance into the national dialogue, and may help societies craft more inclusive, useful, and durable compacts. This report explains how.
