Abstract
This paper is devoted to the notion of game in constitutional form. For this game, we define three notions of cores: theo-core, thei-core and thej-core. For each core, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a game to be stable. We finally prove that these theorems generalize Nakamura's theorems for stability of a simple game and Keiding's theorems for stability of an effectivity function.
