The World's Constitutions to Read, Search, and Compare

Constitute would not be possible without the following remarkable individuals.

At Google Ideas: Jared Cohen, Yasmin Green, Brendan Ballou, and Sara Sinclair Brody, who saw early promise in the project and provided enthusiastic support and guidance.

At the Comparative Constitutions Project: Our indispensable “taggers”: Alex Hudson, Jessie Baugher, Christine Stuart, Giorleny Altamirano, Connor Ewing, John Marsh, Matt Rhodes-Purdy, and the Plan II team. Special thanks to Robert Shaffer for writing and rewriting the code that processes constitutional texts as well as many other critical tasks behind the scenes.

At Google: Anna de Paula Hanika and Jake Cressman who contributed numerous big ideas and their design touch.

At Psycle: Greg Jones, Roy Gardner, Alex Fry, Greg Lepski, Rachel Hancock, Rob Gardner and Rich Dooley took the ideas and made them a web reality.

At UT’s Miranker Lab: Juan Sequeda and Dan Miranker contributed the power of Capsenta's Ultrawrap to transform raw data to linked open data and enrich the constitutional ontology.

In the field: Drafters and advisors of constitutional drafters worldwide provided helpful feedback at key moments.

Our Colleagues: Scholars across various fields improved many of these ideas. We especially appreciate our Board of Advisors and our collaborators at the Program on Liberation Technology and Peace Innovation Lab at Stanford University, whose work informed this project.
