- Constitution as the Art of Beginning Anew. The negative outcome of the referenda on the European Constitution in France and the Netherlands raises challenging questions about the nature of constitution-making. How does one begin a democracy? Does it matter who writes the constitution? The present essay addresses the distinction between the constituent and the constituted power, seen through the eyes of three thinkers: Hannah Arendt, Emmanuel Sieyès and Rogers M. Smith. It looks at Arendt's notion of beginning, Sieyès's idea of the nation as the constituent power behind government, and Smith's proposal of a people constituted through political contestation.
