  • The approach questions the effectiveness of these conventions in constitutional replacement scenarios, suggesting potential shortcomings.
  • Evaluative analysis of using citizen assemblies in governance, focusing on legal frameworks for decision-making.
  • Significance lies in the need for careful consideration before implementing conventions for replacing constitutional structures.
