Summary: In 'Framed', Levinson challenges the belief that the most important features of America's 51 constitutions concern what rights they protect. Instead, he focuses on the fundamental procedures of governance such as congressional bicameralism, the selection of the President by the electoral college, or the dimensions of the President's veto power - not to mention the near impossibility of amending the United States Constitution.
