This article examines the concept of constituent power—the authority to create a new political order—in the context of Scotland’s ongoing independence debates and the United Kingdom’s post-Brexit constitutional crisis. The author argues that competing notions of who constitutes “the people” in a multinational state create unresolved tensions, with the Scottish and UK governments holding fundamentally different views on how sovereignty should be exercised. For a writer and former public servant interested in philosophy, spirituality, and the nature of political communities, this analysis offers a profound exploration of how collective identity and legitimate authority are constructed within modern, multi-layered states.
