World Constitutions in HeinOnline

Our subscription to HeinOnline now includes the new World Constitutions Illustrated library. Like Constitutions of the Countries & Territories of the World, the Hein library offers current and historical constitutions for foreign countries. The Hein database is unique, though, for a few reasons:

• Where available, constitutions are provided in their original language as well as in English translation;
• Constitutions are scanned PDFs from their sources, rather than HTML transcriptions;
• Country pages include links to relevant commentary in classic constitutional texts and selected scholarly articles.
  

Constitutions of the Countries & Territories of the World is still useful for locating constitutional documents from provincial governments (which are not yet included in HeinOnline), and its sister database Constitutions of the United States: National & State also includes U.S. state government constitutions.
