Abstract
The previous chapter provided a brief overview of the contractarian methods of analysis and briefly showed how contractarian logic can be used to assess broad issues in constitutional design. This chapter takes up the task of designing an effective parliamentary democracy. Parliamentary government is one of the most widely used methods of organizing democratic governance and continues to be a broadly appealing institutional arrangement, as evidenced by the large number of new parliamentary systems that have been established in recent decades.
