Long before the coining of the terms populist constitutionalism, popular constitutionalism, and constitutional populism, jurists as well as political actors and thinkers had already explored the ideas and policies that are usually associated with this concept: criticism of the separation of law and politics, anti-elitism, anti-institutionalism (anti-establisment), anti-pluralism, illiberalism, popular sovereignty, direct democracy, authentic popular representation, extreme majoritarianism, strong leadership, personification of power, strengthening of executive power, instrumentalization of law.
