Nested Constitutions Framework - Understanding Layered Governance #2100591 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts a concentric model of constitutional layers, with “Government” at the core (red), surrounded by “State” (yellow), “Society” (green), and “Nature” (blue) as the outermost layer. Each ring represents a domain of constitutional authority and responsibility, emphasizing that formal governance is embedded within larger social and ecological frameworks. The label “Nested constitutions” highlights the interdependence and subsidiarity among these levels.

Used in political theory, constitutional law, and sustainability education to explain multi-level governance and eco-constitutionalism. Ideal for academic articles, policy briefs, or civic literacy resources where users seek conceptual clarity on systemic constitutional design.
