Although I am a Zoologist by training and an instructor by profession, I retain a strong interest in political science, and comparative constitutional law in particular.  In my continued research on other constitutions I found a rather interesting and useful website.

https://www.constituteproject.org/#/

This website not only contains copies of most of the extant constitutions in the world, but it also allows for a general search of constitutional provisions on a topic by topic basis.  For example, I could go under topics and choose 'Elections' -> 'Electoral Oversight' -> 'Electoral Court Powers' and see every constitutional provision regarding the powers of election management bodies over elections on a country by country basis. It is an offshoot of the Comparative Constitutions Project ( http://comparativeconstitutionsproject.org/ ), which previously had tabulated data from the constitutions of the world in order to facilitate quantitative analysis of constitutions.

Whether you have an interest in comparative constitutional law or you are simply curious why a political situation in another country is proceeding the way that it is, then I would highly recommend this website as a reference tool.
