| Language, if not being nonsense, must directly or indirectly refer to physical objects. The roots of errors of thoughts and discourses consist in confusing the nouns substantive and the physical world or substituting the latter for the former. Starting from this linguistic philosophy, I think that the primary duty of constitution scholars is to expose the real rules of sovereignty. From this duty-con-sciousness comes the following concept of constitution: the real rules concerning the organization and operation of sovereignty, including the constitutional laws and conventions that have nothing to do with their moral desirability. In a state whose written constitution just acts as lip service, constitutional conventions are more important for us to understand the real rules of it s sovereignty than constitutional laws. |
