Abstract : Constitutionalism is the notion, frequently linked with John Locke's and the founders of the American republic's political theories, that government can and should be legally regulated in its powers, and that its authority or validity is dependent on obeying these constraints. This concept raises a number of intriguing issues of importance not only to legal scholars, but to anybody interested in the legal and philosophical roots of the state. If a law is the creation of government, how can it be legally limited? Is it possible for a government to be "self-limiting," or is there a method to avoid this implication? It might be argued that the concept of constitutionalism is a necessary instrument for achieving public accountability, which leads to effective government.
