Summary
The prevailing interpretation of basic rights equates all those legal positions protected as basic rights with individual rights. The main point of reference is the autonomous individual. »Collective« or »institutional« aspects of the constitutional protection of basic rights that transcend this dimension are seen as merely secondary phenomena, derived from the primarily relevant phenomenon of individual freedom. The contributions to this volume challenge this popular perspective. They pose the question of the extent to which traditional constitutional theory and doctrinal approaches systematically undervalue trans-subjective social elements embodied in basic rights.
