Country or Jurisdiction

This dimension names the country or jurisdiction a political document actually governs. Wikipedia notes that within a state, a constitution "defines the principles upon which the state is based, the procedure in which laws are made, and by whom," always for one specific state. Browsing this way collects every document belonging to the same country or jurisdiction.
