| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We seek to empirically analyze the causal relationship between constitutional rigidity (independent variable) and constitutional Amendment (dependent variable) in 61 amendment procedures in 28 countries. In conclusion, we can confirm the causal relationship that a rise of constitutional rigidity causes a decrease in the number of constitutional amendments. The results from analysis show that rigid constitutions as constitutional institution deter a constitutional amendments as constitutional policy. That is to say, rigid constitution demonstrates its institutional object. However, the deterrent effect is absolutely and relatively small.
