Slovakia celebrates a Constitution Day on September 1, for the Constitution passed by the Slovak National Council on September 1, 1992.
The Slovaks place their rights provision early in their document, like most American states, and not as amendments, as in the Constitution of the United States of America.
One reply on “Constitution Day”
George Mason, who had made various interesting suggestions as part of the Constitutional Convention, including term limits and prohibition of fiat currency, refused to sign-off on the document because it lacked a bill of rights and a deadline for the abolition of slavery. He had earlier written the Virginia Bill of Rights which prefaced the constitution of that state.
But we dodged a dire bullet by having the Bill of Rights effected as Amendments, exactly because we would surely still have had the texts of Article II § 2 Clause 2 and Article VI Clause 2, and their effect would have been unlimited by a Bill of Rights that did not amend them. Control of the White House and Senate would have been sufficient to void the Bill of Rights.
