Note: The standardized 100-point scale of democracy is described in Table 3.1. The scale measures Liberal Democracy (Freedom House
2000). For the classification of types of constitution, see text.
IMPACT ON DEMOCRACY
Note: The type of constitution was classified using the definitions defined in the text according to data derived from Griffiths
(2005), Watts (1999), and Banks (2004). The standardized 100-point scales of democracy are described in Table 3.1. The four
scales measure Liberal Democracy (Freedom House 2000), Constitutional Democracy (Polity IV 2000), Participatory Democracy
(Vanhanen 2000), and Contested Democracy (Cheibub and Gandhi 2000). When tested by ANOVA, the difference between mean
scores are all significant (at the p=.001 level).
