In this collection of essays, Professor Daniel Turp brings together 24 texts he wrote between 1995 and 2012 to define the contours of a new Quebec constitutional order, in which he argues for Quebec to adopt its own fundamental law. A twenty-fifth essay, written in 2013, concludes the work, and is accompanied by a draft Constitution of the Nation and State of Quebec. The author remains convinced that the advancement of Quebec is intimately linked to the adoption of a Quebec Constitution that will have received popular and parliamentary assent through a citizen-based process. He expresses the hope that this process will soon see the light of day, and that Quebecers will thus determine their political future by adopting their own fundamental law.
