The Arguments For and Against the Proposals to Reform the European Constitution

The argument for supporting and opposing the proposal to amend the European Constitution is a single document replacing the existing European law of several international treaties. It recognized and compiled the decision of the EU and this decision has become more complicated since the EU expanded from 15 states to 25 states in May 2004. On 18 June, the EU Member States have reached an agreement on the EU Constitutional Treaty (Constitution). EU Member States studied a new constitution during the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) which began in October 2003.

Following the refusal of the Constitutional Treaty between the Netherlands and France, a new treaty, often referred to as the "Lisbon Treaty" or "Reform Treaty", was proposed. This Convention revised the European Union Convention and formulated the Agency Operation Treaty.

Before the Lisbon Treaty came into effect on December 1, 2009, the EU treaty or law did not prescribe the ability of its country to withdraw from the EU. The European Constitution proposes provisions incorporated into the Lisbon Treaty after the treaty that enacted the European Constitution was not ratified. The Convention proposed a withdrawal clause to Member States wishing to withdraw from the Alliance. This means that if the Member State first withdraws the negotiations and can notify the European Council that it wishes to withdraw and has not reached any other agreement, the treaty will not apply to the withdrawing country after two years notice Formalize the procedure carefully.

Europeans will soon review the EU Constitution, which is very different from the US Constitution. The United States is the oldest and largest constitutional republic - a country that has achieved significant growth of region, population and income; those who absorb diverse ethnic, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds than other contemporary countries is. Therefore, Europeans are encouraged to understand and consider these characteristics of the US constitution which provides a political and legal framework for the success story of the United States.
