The Clough Journal is pleased to annouce that for the first time we will be accepting submissions from undergraduate students from across the United States.

A constitutional democracy is characterized by

• A government under the rule of law
• Equal and just application of law
• The existence of free and fair elections
• A functioning free market which promotes an open exchange of ideas and goods
• The ability for all citizens to participate in the government
• Protected rights of the minority and the individual

The topic of constitutional democracy is far broader than is commonly thought. We are interested in reading any and all papers on topics that relate to the ideas described in our mission statement:

To provide a forum for interdisciplinary reflection on the promise and problems of constitutional democracy both domestically and internationally.

As noted above, The Clough Journal wishes to engage in an interdisciplinary reflection. Thus, submissions relating to constitutional democracy in the fields of history, philosophy, economics, political science, sociology, and others are welcome and encouraged.

Papers that would pertain to constitutional democracy could be about the following topics

• How economic changes affect a nation
• Legal issues within a democracy
• The interpretation, execution, or creation of laws
• How different institutions within a democracy interact with each other and their citizens
• Conflicts between democracies

...and many more topics
