Abstract: Abstract Over the twentieth century, Greece shifted from monarchy to republic in a sequence that involved civil war, dictatorship, rigged referendums and several constitutional revisions. This experience is used to examine the changing profile of power relations of the post-WWII monarchical and republican constitutions. A pattern of increasing authority, instrumental and positive power relations is observed. Of those, only the former trend is compatible with the definitional propositions of the VOIP.
