A look at the Khalsa's creation through the lens of constitutional theory
One thought Das had is to study different constitutional arrangements & norms vs the dominant socio-economic group at the time.
Ie the first American Republic was dominated by yeoman farmers.
Post civil war it'd be Yankee Industrialist.
3rd Republic FDR to Trump it's PMC?
4th Republic is Finance & other definition of PMC?
--
De facto the ability to exercise rights across public and private domains ie social acceptability has varied.
We'd need to find good measures of this over time.
Free speech is easy University surveys on would you let X category speak?
Arms is harder since open v concealed carry?
Could you link the dominant socio-economic group to the dominant form of war at the time?
Would demographics reflect the dominance of a specific group, rather than leading to dominance?
