Rationale Gesetzgebung

Do laws have to be rational? And what defines a rational law anyway? Rationality is neither a uniform nor a well-defined term. And neither is it exclusive to jurisprudence, having instead multidisciplinary origins. But what meaning does rationality reveal in each of its discipline-specific origins in relation to legislation? And do these extra-judicial attributes have a normative constitutional foundation? Armin Steinbach's study adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, and aims to highlight rationality's partly homogenous, partly contradictory attributes when it comes to law making.
