ABSTRACT
The Article partly refers to itself, since it is part of the Constitution for which it is providing conditions of amendment. The Scandinavian legal realist Alf Ross argues that partial selfreference in propositions is no better than total self-reference, which he thinks deprives them of meaning. Such an article may not be amended by the legal process it prescribes, since partial self-reference renders it meaningless in so far as it is selfreferential.
