This journal is brought to you with the generous support of the Bradley Foundation and the Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. While this first issue has been considerably delayed by a variety of technical factors, we are confident that future issues will be forthcoming on a regular and timely basis. The mission statement for this journal describes its goal as the presentation of research and analysis concerning constitutions from a broad range of viewpoints and approaches. The selection of articles in this first issue bears out that mission statement. In “Young Jeffersonians and Adult Marshallians: Constituttional and Regime Transitions in Public Schools and Nation- States,” Mark Graber explores ways in which constitutional theories appear in places far removed from the halls of ap- pellate courts. Graber considers the provocative idea that there are distinct and characterizable forms of constitutionalism that appear in student councils. Using Jefferson and Marshall as two broadly drawn templates for constitutional reason- ing, Graber proposes that the thinking about rules and their interpretation that oc- curs in student councils is no less “constitutional” than the reasoning of the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court; it just displays a different version of constitutionalism at work. The implications of Graber’s argument are that “constitutionalism” is a phenomenon that we can see all around us if we only look and if we are open to the possibility of multiple different forms of the concept. In “Restoring Lost Liberty: François Hotman and the Nationalist Origins of Constitutional Self-Government,” Ethan Alexander-Davey provides us with a study in the intellectual history of constitutionalist thought. Focusing on the underappre- ciated work of François Hotman, Alexander-Davey shows unexpected nationalist Constitutional Studies 1.1 ©2016 by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System This open access article is distributed under the terms of the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/) and is freely available online at: https://constitutionalstudies.wisc.edu or https://uwpress.wisc.edu/journals/journals/cs.html 1 Editor’s Note roots to what is usually thought of as liberal constitutionalism. Insofar as we seek to understand constitutionalism as a system of ideas, not merely a set of rules, this kind of excavation of the source materials makes an important contribution to our understanding. Ideas, as Alexander-Davey reminds us, have histories that shape and inform their meanings, and examining these histories challenges received no- tions of how different forms of constitutionalism relate to one another. Clement Fatovic’s article, “James Madison and the Emergency Powers of the Legislature,” focuses on American constitutional practice, specifically the thinking of James Madison. Fatovic’s exploration
