Just over thirty years ago I published a book on the constitution entitled The Constitution in Flux. It was on the reading lists of many law as well as politics courses for years. One reviewer described the work as prophetic. I have been pursued by publishers who have been keen for a second edition. I have not had time to get round to penning one, largely because I have been so busy with other commitments. There is one other problem. If I was to do a new work, other than calling it The Constitution in Flux, 2nd edition, what could it be called? No one has yet come up with a better name than the original. Some students have spent ages ruminating, but not yet come up with a better title. The Constitution in Even More Flux was one suggestion. Others have been a variation on that theme.
Any suggestions?
The Norton View 
In the event of Scottish Independence (with the associated unprecedented changes that would be necessary following it), it could be called ‘The Constitution is Flummoxed’
Constitution in Chaos?
The Constitution: Respice Finem
The Constitution that Changed Itself.
I don’t think anything is better than The Constitution in Flux, but I see your predicament. Maybe something that implies modernity? The Modern Constitution in Flux?
Evolution of a Constitution or Coping with Change: The British Constitution
Reflux in the Constitution?
🙂
A Contitutional Influx: Thirty Years of Evolutionary Change in British Institutions (Not great – sorry!) You really can’t change such an iconic title. The great virtue of the title c in flux is that it has wide appeal. It is catchy enough to appeal to a populist audience as well as being academic in tone. I can well understand why your publishers are keen. They would make a fortune! I hope you manage to write it – to distil all of those changes into a single accessible volume would be a huge achievement.
On the other hand if my title were adopted your credibility would be ruined and your publisher’s profits might be wiped out by having to correct the typo!
“The Constitution Completely Fluxed!”:
i still have my copy ! I would call the next one ” For Fluxs Sake ” !!
The Constitution Unraveled. Though Seanjm72 has taken the best title
‘The Constitution Shot to Hull’? ‘The Constitution v34.25666’? Or (using Roget) ‘The Constitution in Drift’?
I remember it being on my reading list at Uni all those years ago 😉
Oh, it’s still there!
” The Constitution in Flux: Redux”
@LN:
‘Dolus Eventualis’ or ‘Indirect Intention’ strikes me as most appropriate. Or, could it be, ‘Dolus Directus’? (Direct Intention) With a covering line underneath in parenthesis, such as, ‘Principles Governing a State.’
It would be eye catching. Especially with a dark red cover and gold lettered skull and crossbones across the top. Well the young were mentioned and that’s where its at for them.
Could not resist giving you a sample of this.

Depends whether you think the Flux metaphor is still relevant? Borrowing from Science have attempts to enshrine more elements of Constitutional Practice in Acts of Parliament including the Coalition Agreement increased Flux Density or should that be Constitutional Viscosity. Still she moves but there has been a hardening at the Centre as the molten stream of constitutional practice revolves ever faster and becomes ever more detatched in turn isolating the Centre (Devolution threatening the Break-Up of the Union): Solidifying the Flux or the Eddy in the Flux could be a metaphor for attempts to do this during the course of the coalition.
Many thanks for some superb suggestions. As readers have recognised, it is actually difficult to better ‘The Constitution in Flux’. Some of the titles suggested are very attractive, but may not pass muster with publishers. The title needs to be simple, clear and fairly snappy. Mark Shephard’s ‘The Constitution in Chaos’ has a certain appeal!
