Constitutional Reforms Proposed in Turkey

From the NYT:

Turkish voters approved a sweeping package of constitutional reforms by a wide margin on Sunday, handing a major victory to the Islamist-rooted government and marking another concrete step in an inexorable shift in power away from the secular Westernized elite that has governed modern Turkey for most of its history.

Appropriate subject matter as we begin discussing constitutions this week.
