Constitutional Conventions

Constitutional Conventions is a body of unwritten, non-justiciable norms of political practice that guide and constrain the exercise of formal constitutional powers by state institutions and officeholders, thereby filling gaps in the legal constitution and structuring its operation and development over time.
