Title: 1867: Two Constitutional Tales on Minority Nationalism: The Austro-Hungarian Compromise and the British North America Act

Abstract: The article compares the Austro-Hungarian Compromise and the British North America Act as constitutional responses to minority nationalism in multi-ethnic political communities.
