Anticonstitutionalism is a political ideology or movement, thought of originally in the 1660's by the elven scholar and writer, Kardryn Oranor. Anticonstitutionalism is quite literally a movement that is against the law or constitution, believing said constitution to be wrong, inadequate or injust. Anticonstitutionalism typically goes hand in hand with liberalism and republicanism and in fact strives for constitutionalism, in the sense of striving for a proper constitution that is right, sufficient and just.
Origins
The origins of the anticonstitutionalist ideology and movement are rather clear. In the 1660's, the young elf, Kardryn Oranor started an ambitious writing project called The Elvenesse Papers. This was a series of essays and documents that he published, giving critique on the government's policies and actions, and in particular, the constitution of the Dominion of Elvenesse where he lived. It was during this time that he began publishing the papers, that within him and many other elves of the Dominion, an feeling of aversion arose against the nation's constitution and other laws. In 1669, Oranor came up with the name 'Anticonstitutionalism' for his movement. However, it should be noted that other anticonstitutionalist actions had been present in many nations in the past in the form of abandoning and rewriting laws and constitutions in other nations.
Political Tenets
It is difficult to define the specific tenets of Anticonstitutionalism, for the ideology is based on the movement of changing a constitution or law because of it's flaws. Thus one could say Anticonstitutionalism is solely based around ridding the flaws in a constitution. But besides points like justice, equality and freedom, Anticonstitutionalism is also based on a few other ideologic cornerstones.
• Liberalism: Anticonstitutionalism strongly incorporates liberalism, for in anticonstitutionalism, points like freedom to write and other general freedoms, equality and economic liberty act as an indispensable foundation.
• Republicanism: Furthermore, Anticonstitutionalism is built on Republicanism, for it is often a republic of sorts that holds a constitution as well as the ability for it's citizens to reflect upon said constitution.
• Constitutionalism: Lastly, as strange as it may sound, Anticonstitutionalism is all about Constitutionalism as the goal of Anticonstitutionalism is to right the wrongs of a constitution so that it functions properly and justly and so that those who live under the influence of said constitution, have a strong set of laws which they can live by and which protect them from corrupt governance.
