Schupmann appraises Schmitt's constitutional theory and examines how it was conceived in response to the Weimar Germany's legitimation crisis. Schmitt's normative theory of 'constrained' democracy offers a novel way to understand the legitimacy of liberal democracy and the limits of constitutional change, and is today more relevant than ever.
