"Europe's proposed constitution might look familiar to America's Founding Fathers, but mostly because it evokes their earlier mistakes with the flawed Articles of Confederation. For starters, the new charter fails to give the European Union (EU) real authority over war, diplomacy, and taxes, much less any real power to its new president. And by refusing to submit the constitution for popular approval, many EU member states are undermining its legitimacy and future effectiveness." (FOREIGN POLICY) This article critiques the proposed European Union constitution.
