About
This dataset was constructed after detecting numerous and egregious
inconsistencies in the official dataset. We discovered several
errors for the coding of constitutions and constitutional ages in the
original dataset. This subset contains manual fixes using multiple sources
for constitutional data.These corrections were carried out by Lisa Emmer
under guidance from Joshua Brinks and Thomas Parris. For additional
information regarding the official IAEP (V2) dataset refer to the
user
manual.
If you are hesitant to use our adjusted dataset, you might consider using
Constitutes' Chronology of Constitutional Events (CCE). You could construct
a constitutional stability counter with CCE data using counter functions
like Base R's rle() or data.table's data.table::rleid().
Amendment References
Edits to the original IAEP (V2.0) dataset were determined by reviewing
several constitutional databases and news articles. Some are not listed
