Freiheitsgrundrechte

With the aid of an overall concept for the fundamental rights to liberty, Wolfram Cremer counters the frequently lamented »new lack of clarity« in the guarantee of the right to liberty under the Basic Law (German constitution) with a framework for a system. Referring constantly to a methodical apparatus, he develops a coherent and finely structured system for guaranteeing the fundamental rights to liberty. He shows that only the defensive and the protective functions are to be recognized as functions of fundamental rights which are independent and applicable to all basic rights to liberty.
