This monograph examines unamendable provisions of constitutions, known as eternity clauses, and the challenges they present to democratic constitutionalism. The book explores the role of eternity clauses in constitution-making, constitutional adjudication, and constitutional reform and posits an ambiguous legacy for eternity clauses.
