THE QUILL PROJECT
Understanding how Constitutions and Laws are Written
Quill exists to enhance understanding of some of the foundational legal texts of the modern world by researching and modelling the context within which constitutional conventions, legislative assemblies, and other formal groups made decisions.
The project is directed by Dr Nicholas Cole, a political historian specializing in post-Independence America, and operates across the fields of humanities, computer science, and the social sciences.
We are based at Pembroke College, University of Oxford and enjoy a strategic partnership with the Center for Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University.
