Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the role of constitutions in Hong Kong, the principal concern being the implications of the Basic Law which comes into effect in July 1997 as the constitution of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). In order to show the purpose and method of the Basic Law, I also examine the role of colonial constitutions in the territory.
