agreed constitution; pacted constitution
A constitution established by agreement between a monarch and a representative body, as opposed to one imposed unilaterally. Most famously used for the French Charter of 1830.
In France in 1830, an agreed constitution was established through agreement between the king and the parliament.
An agreed constitution differs from a constitution imposed unilaterally by a monarch.
A constitution granted by the monarch alone, without parliamentary agreement. Contrasts with 協定憲法, which requires mutual consent.
A constitution established by the people or their representatives, without monarchical participation. Differs from 協定憲法, which involves both monarch and representatives.
Compound of 協定 (agreement) and 憲法 (constitution). The term is a modern calque from Western constitutional theory, likely coined in the Meiji period or later to translate concepts like 'pacted constitution'.
