This new website provides a tool that will allow students compare constitutions from various countries and find similarities and differences. You will also find tags, over 300 of them, so you may choose to search by a specific tag such as "right to privacy" (found in 156 constitutions) or "right to bear arms" (found in 5 constitutions).
This site may be a great resource for history and social studies as courses in government.
