peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1must be born from / inspire Explanation: emphasis being on the idea that the nation should give the rules - with a bit of patriotic inspiration (en francais du moins avec le verbe emaner) thus: "the constitution shoud be born from the nation" or "the nation must inspire the constitution" in a more american affirmative way :) |

peer agreement (net): -1The constitution should raise from the nation and... Explanation: I have the funny feeling that "emaner" can be translated by the verb "to raise" and that this verb is the only one to correspond with this "higher idea" which is the idea of a national constitution. In USA I assume that you see what I mean... ( now we can hear "stars and stripes" linked with "La Marseillaise"). |

3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2emanate Explanation: Its a logical construct. The constitution must emanate from the nation and impose rules on governance/government. "Émaner/emanate", literally, is what is given off by a "body": a flower emanates an odour. In the case here, is means "flow/proceed from" or "follow logically on". |
