Abstract
-Political party leaders engage in constitutional entrepreneurship, trying to change the constitution so that it aligns more with their preferences.
-Several successful attempts of constitutional entrepreneurship by Slovak partisans pushed the constitution in an illiberal direction.
-Illiberal changes become possible through ad hoc partisan deals, keeping short-term interests in mind.
Slovakia’s constitutionalism has been eroding due to these deals and illustrates the general danger of such erosion.
