▼ In this dissertation, I argue for citizens’ responsibility to participate in
constitutional interpretation in certain roles—as voters and jurors, litigants and disobedients, partisans and deliberators—on particular questions. Namely, I develop an account of the Citizens’ Constitution as fundamental law: basic principles that invite citizens’ interpretive participation, that are accessible and justifiable to their common reason.
This constructive interpretation of the practices of American constitutionalism begins with the idea of interpretive responsibility—especially the responsibilities that attach to the roles of officials and citizens. Chapter 1 argues that when these roles require the application of
constitutional principles, responsible interpreters should not simply defer to an authority. The rest of the dissertation is organized around three signal values of
constitutional democracy—three arguments of political morality in favor of understanding the Citizens’ Constitution as fundamental law, giving pride of place to citizens’ interpretive responsibilities.
First, this understanding of the Citizens’ Constitution as fundamental law promotes what I will call the
constitutional bases of respect. By imbuing basic
constitutional principles with their individual and shared conceptions of justice, citizens recognize the equal status of their fellow interpreters, secure the institutional foundations of their own self-worth, and acknowledge
constitutional injustice when institutions fall short of those aspirations. In Chapter 2, I illustrate this value by examining the claim that “Black Lives Matter” as a claim of fundamental law.
Second, the fundamental law of the Citizens’ Constitution tempers deep disagreements of political morality that pervade our politics, grounding these debates in shared principles that appeal to citizens’ common reason. Chapter 3 looks to the fundamental law tradition to develop an account of
constitutional time, which relates those principles in the present to
constitutional justice, for the past and in the future. Chapter 4 defends fundamental law against important objections.
Third, understanding the Citizens’ Constitution as fundamental law empowers citizens to acquit their interpretive role responsibilities as voters, jurors, disobedients, and more. Chapter 5 sketches a general
theory of citizens’ interpretive role responsibilities, accordingly.

▼ The aim of the thesis is to address the jurisprudence of constitutional conflict between the Court of Justice and national courts with constitutional jurisdiction. It seeks to determine how the principle of primacy of EU law works in reality and whether the jurisprudence of the courts under analysis supports this concept. In so doing, the goal is to determine if the theory of constitutional pluralism can explain and guide the application of the principle of primacy of EU law in the jurisprudence of constitutional conflict. The analysis has been carried out on two levels. First, by exploring sovereignty claims by the courts under analysis, as well as reconciliatory vocabulary they employ to manage and contain constitutional conflict. Second, by further studying the three areas of constitutional conflict - ultra vires review, identity review, and fundamental rights review - to provide more nuance in the analysis of the way the Court of Justice has expanded the self-referential system of the Treaties; the different limits that constitutional adjudicators have placed on the principle of primacy as a result; and what possible solutions they envisage in the event of a constitutional conflict. All the courts under analysis have employed the vocabulary of mutual respect and self-restraint as principles guiding the resolution of constitutional conflict. Constitutional conflict is managed through incremental and permanent contestation and accommodation of their opposing claims to sovereignty (the auto-correct function of constitutional pluralism) that results in the uniform interpretation and application of Union law, but keeping in line with conferral as its defining principle. The analysis demonstrated the existence of a heterarchical constellation - the potential of all the courts involved for being ranked in a number of different ways at different times - grounded in mutual respect and self-restraint.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to examine the procedural democratic legitimacy of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The Court of Justice has been instrumental in the construction of the European Union. Through its interpretation of the Treaty of Rome since the 1960s, it has constituted a legal system distinctive in kind. In contrast to orthodox instances of the political community – international organisations and the nation-state – the EU exemplifies no general type. Its legal, constitutional, political, economic and social infrastructures are part of a complex and pervasive web of overlapping jurisdictions that goes some way beyond the ordinary international organisation (by virtue of constitutional principles such as direct effect and citizenship), but not quite as far as the nation-state (e.g. sovereignty contestation). This being the case, its interlocutors have long since understood that the EU is in a state of transformation – it is itself a project and a process, the end result of which (finalité) is unknown. As such, many questions have been asked about the legitimacy of this process; and, given the Court of Justice’s (in)famous generative role within this process, the Court also finds itself the subject of such scrutiny. The legitimacy of the Court of Justice has been the focus of attention from both academics and practitioners. Most of that attention has been on the Court’s jurisprudence and jurisdiction – scrutinising the legal reasoning of cases; or questioning the limits of its constitutional functions according to axiomatic conceptions of, for example, the separation of powers doctrine. By contrast, less attention has been paid to the democratic legitimacy of the Court of Justice, and much less in relation to the Court’s institutional design. The subject-matter of the analysis in this thesis is the Court’s structures and processes, such as: the composition and appointments processes for members of the Court; the mechanisms that give access to various kinds of participants (such as locus standi and third-party intervention); and the use of judicial chambers. Procedural democratic legitimacy, moreover, has two dimensions: intrinsic and instrumental. The intrinsic is a measure of the democratic credentials of the Court as a discrete decision-making authority (such as representativeness and democratic participation); whereas the instrumental is concerned with the ways in which the Court contributes to the overall democratic legitimacy of the EU. In this thesis, the structures and processes of the Court of Justice are examined in light of both of those criteria. In contrast to prevailing approaches of constitutional theorists – who tend to treat these criteria as functions that are quite discrete, and their performance as mutually exclusive – an important theoretical contribution of this thesis is to develop an analytical framework that allows for the inherent synergies and tensions that exist between intrinsic and instrumental criteria to be factored into analyses of the democratic legitimacy of…

▼ Separation of powers is typically understood in terms of constraint. In this view, the Constitution provides a static legal framework intended primarily to control and limit politics. The purpose of this dissertation is to consider how separation of powers values are undermined by an overly literal conception of the textual provisions that bring the political branches into contact. Indeed, this dissertation argues that the Constitution was not intended to be a static legal framework unadaptable to the needs and exigencies of modern circumstances. Rather, as argued most persuasively in The Federalist, the Constitution instantiated a dynamic political order in which differently-constructed institutions advance the aims and prerogatives of their institutions in political conflict, this conflict meant to achieve the overlapping and at times competing goods of the
constitutional order. A narrow focus on the literal strictures of the textual provisions that bring the branches into contact can frustrate — and potentially undermine — this dynamic process. The burden of this dissertation is borne by three case studies — on the legislative veto, executive agreements, and recess appointments. Each case study evaluates the
constitutional dimensions of departures from the literal strictures of the text, demonstrating how such departures are both fostered and limited by the purposes undergirding the
constitutional text — and how legal resolution based on the literal meaning of the text undermines robust
constitutional politics. This dissertation thus argues that interbranch disputes regarding the limits of the political branches’ powers — insofar as those conflicts do not infringe upon the rights of individuals — should be left to the political negotiations of the branches. Such political negotiation, however, is not standardless. Rather, the branches engage (or should engage) the
constitutional text at a higher level of abstraction, arguing about the purposes of assigned powers in light of the duties and prerogatives of their offices. Brightline, legalistic rules that settle the
constitutional text — without reference to the particular contexts that give rise to textual departures — are inattentive to, and potentially subvert, the higher order purposes of the
constitutional order.

The Political Foundations of Legal Theory: Political Realignment and the Legal Marketplace of Ideas

▼ Models of legal change identifying electoral politics, specifically realignments of the political system that replace one political-electoral regime with another, as a key to understanding the evolution of legal thought have been widely accepted. However, the precise causal order of the chain of events linking political and legal change is less clear given the autonomy of the legal profession. This study addresses this question by examining the dynamics of change in the legal marketplace of ideas during three periods of political realignment (the 1980s, the 1930s, and the 1890s). The timing and magnitude of the changes in legal orthodoxy that occurred during each of these periods are measured primarily through analysis of patterns in legal scholarship in elite law reviews that measures the extent to which changes in the amount of scholarship embracing (as well as attacking) legal ideologies associated with new regimes correspond to critical events signaling support for those ideologies by prominent political actors affiliated with those regimes. The results suggest that the relationship between realignments of the political system and change in the legal marketplace of ideas has not been constant over time but rather has been contingent upon the comprehensiveness of the realignment and upon how deeply entrenched the outgoing regime's legal ideology is in the legal marketplace of ideas. In particular, legal ideologies that are affiliated with a regime that is the product of a partial and protracted realignment and which confront a legal marketplace of ideas that remains thoroughly permeated by the outgoing regime's legal ideology are likely to be highly reliant upon overt political support for legitimacy. Conversely, legal ideologies that are affiliated with a regime that is the product of a complete and rapid realignment and which confront a legal marketplace of ideas that is less thoroughly permeated by the outgoing regime's legal ideology are likely to be less reliant upon overt political support for legitimacy.

▼ The development of American federalism is a story of contested sovereignty, and those contests are fundamentally shaped by the evolving structures, relationships, and understandings of the
constitutional order. This dissertation seeks to show how the American federal system is both cause and effect of political development. Even as it structures legal and political contestation, American federalism is shaped—even redefined—by such contestation. Central to the account of American federalism that I advance are two related arguments about the nature of the federal system. The first is that the Constitution’s definition of the state-federal relationship is structurally underdeterminate: while the Constitution constrains the set of permissible state-federal relationships, it fixes no single definition. Rather than establish a determinate division of state and national powers, the Constitution establishes a range of parameters for their relationship and sets forth the legal and political processes through which that relationship is contested, defined, and revised. As a result, the American federal system both shapes and is shaped by constitutionally structured politics. Developing an implication of this argument, the second argument holds that notions and definitions of sovereignty are structured relationally. Articulations of national power reciprocally define a category of state powers, just as invocation of local concerns over which states have authority reciprocally define national concerns over which the national government has authority. On this account federalism is both an independent and a dependent variable, an approach that shifts our focus from federalism and American political development to federalism in American political development. By foregrounding the underdeterminacy of the federal system and interrogating the
constitutional construction it anticipates, we can glimpse the intertwined contingency and continuity of American
constitutional development. This dissertation is broadly divided into two parts—the first theoretical, the second developmental—each of which consists of two components. The resulting four chapters constitute the core of the project. The theoretical chapters (Chapters One and Two) provide a framework for understanding the federal system both in the general context of the American Constitution and, more specifically, in contrast with the separation of powers. This framework is fundamentally structured by the underdeterminate
constitutional division of state and national powers and the consequent need for
constitutional construction of the state-federal relationship. The developmental chapters (Chapters Three and Four) operationalize the theoretical framework developed in the first two chapters in two different domains:
constitutional jurisprudence and a discrete episode of the political construction of the state-federal relationship. Taken together, these chapters are intended to illustrate the central argument of the preceding chapters: that the
constitutional design of the federal…

As One United People: An Inclusive Communitarian Approach to Constitutional Rights in Singapore.

▼ Despite having a written Constitution, Article 4 of which states that it is the ‘supreme law’ of the nation and which confers strike down powers on the courts, there has never been a single successful constitutional rights challenge to legislation and executive orders in Singapore’s 54 years of independence. I hypothesise, with a doctrinal analysis, that this is caused by Singapore’s communitarian approach to rights. It prioritises the collective interest over individual rights, resulting in the disjunction between the rights’ elevated status and their practical non-application. To correct this disjunction, I demonstrate that communitarianism does not necessarily prioritise the collective over the individual, and develop an alternative communitarian approach: the inclusive communitarian approach, consisting of two elements. First, a pluralistic constitutive conception of community as the communal attachments that partly constitute our identity. Second, the national community’s duty to include all who fulfil the membership criterion. The inclusive communitarian approach reconceptualises rights as protecting our interest in our constitutive communities—to have access to and participate in them, and to live meaningfully as their members—because they are a fundamental source of meaning for our self-understanding. The importance of this interest gives rise to the national community’s duty to include by recognising members’ equality of membership. This means that, unless a constitutive community violates the duty to include and the national community’s foundational principles, the national community cannot restrict a constitutive community in a manner that disrespects its value to its members. I then apply the inclusive communitarian approach to Singapore and show, first, that it re-interprets Singapore’s communitarian values in a more favourable light; and second, that it would vindicate some of the constitutional rights challenges, discussed in the thesis, that have failed on Singapore’s ‘collective over individual’ communitarian approach.

▼ A constitution whose authority derives from popular sovereignty may be sustained, altered, or abandoned by, and only by, the sovereign people. Judicial supremacy - the
theory that
constitutional politics must be pursued through judicial review by a
constitutional court - should be discarded, in favor of the exercise of constituent power through "contestatory constitutionalism:" a complex of participatory democracy, popular engagement with existing institutions, and the articulation of
constitutional claims in the modality of politics rather than law. The dissertation argues for the priority of contestatory constitutionalism over judicial supremacy and competing theories of judicial interpretation of the
constitutional text, by presenting an account of American
constitutional development and its associated pathologies, assessing and refining the idea of popular constitutionalism (that is, popular interpretation of the Constitution), and defending contestatory constitutionalism, considered as the most preferable interpretation of popular constitutionalism, against judicial supremacy. Contestatory constitutionalism should also be preferred over competing theories that argue for more limited forms of judicial interpretive authority, such as originalism, which holds that particular interpretations of political and legal history should trump contemporary understandings and preferences; and living constitutionalism, which holds that
constitutional meaning should be under constant revision across political time. Contestatory constitutionalism elides the debate between originalists and living constitutionalists; it focuses on the distribution and disposition of power, participation, and persuasion within the polity itself, and not on the fixation or fluidity of meaning in the
constitutional text.

▼ It is the purpose of this Thesis to start an analysis of metaconstitutional review, understood as the process through which an entity such as a Constitutional Court or Supreme Court reviews the compliance of the acts of the Constituent with superior values or fills constitutional gaps with such values. This, in order to explain its separate nature from constitutional review, to determine whether it is compatible with the traditional conception of popular sovereignty as the ultimate source of power and the legitimizing element of the constitutional system and to determine whether or not metaconstitutional review could prevent social change by entrenching certain values.

Alexander Hamilton: A Theory of

▼ The United States public yearns for statesmen
who can transcend the limited scope of the average politician, but
does have a precise model for great statesmanship. This
dissertation draws a
theory of statesmanship from the political
thought and actions of Alexander Hamilton in three parts. First,
the statesman requires a type of knowledge of the political origins
of the body politic and the ability to explain to a given people a
more perfect understanding of the nature of their regime and their
relationship to it. Hamilton centered his early statesmanship on
this task as he interpreted the revolutionary statements and
actions of the Continental Congress. He began with the public
consensus that the American body politic was connected with free
government and elucidated its natural rights source and the
principle foundations of the English constitution and colonial
charters which put it into practice. Second, the statesman requires
knowledge about how to fit a form of government and political
institutions to a particular regime. This component of a
statesman’s political science politics is important for founders as
well as those who follow, for even these must have a form toward
which they strive in order to recognize the difference between
improvement and decay. In the apex of Hamilton’s political career
he distinguished two regimes—free and absolute—and offered a
multi-tiered proposal on forms of government suited for the
perpetuation of the free regime, accounting for the habits, mores,
and present opinions of its citizens. Finally, the statesman
requires a
theory of civil society that looks to the future health
of the body politic by considering the relationship of other
relevant spheres of social interaction and their effect on the
attachment between a people and their government. Hamilton’s
nascent
theory of civil society emerges from his ideas on the place
of religion, education, and civil associations in America. I
conclude that Hamilton need not have been a model statesman to have
provided us with a viable
theory of statesmanship—one capable of
meeting the long held public demand in the United States for more
complete political leadership.

▼ Differences in institutional architecture and political culture notwithstanding,
constitutional democracies worldwide are increasingly relying on courts for their maintenance, most notably in regards to the settlement of conflicts involving fundamental rights and values. This dissertation explores the foundations of juristocracy and argues that its intellectual roots lies in the proliferation of a depoliticized understanding of democracy that emerged as a reaction to the experience of totalitarianism. By examining the historical, institutional, and ethical shifts that shaped
constitutional development after World War II, it reveals how contemporary democracies have accepted the diagnosis that the rise of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes was caused by an inherent flaw within democracy, particularly its inability to counteract subversive movements that harness legitimacy from plebiscitarian methods and mass mobilization. The anxiety towards unconstrained collectivities and majoritarian power has led intellectuals in both the United States and Europe to re-conceptualize democracy as the distribution of fundamental rights, as opposed to the distribution of self-governing power amongst citizens to collectively determine public affairs. As a result of this emerging consensus, the participatory dimension of democratic politics was attenuated in the name of preserving the idea of democracy safeguarded through judicial or quasi-judicial means. Although this conceptual shift has been obscured by its use of familiar jargons from early modern political thought, this dissertation offers a critical inquiry into understanding how the core premises of
constitutional democracy has been historically reconstructed in a way that informs the rise of juristocracy across different parts of the world.

Conceptions of democracy and the administrative state in the shaping of Australian judicial review of administrative action.

▼ In recent decades Australian judicial review of administrative action has been characterised as having taken a different shape to review in countries with a similar common law heritage. One explanation given for this difference is an attachment to what has been called ‘formalism’ or ‘legalism’ in Australian judicial doctrine. This thesis argues that instead, the source of the difference lies in the different normative institutional values of the Australian system of law and government. This thesis is divided into two parts. Part I sketches the contemporary framework of judicial review of administrative action in Australia. It looks at three defining features of it, the
constitutional separation of judicial power, the distinction between merits and legality and the concept of jurisdictional error. This part of the thesis draws out the ways in which these features can be recognised as the product of a notion of judicial power which is responsive to institutional context. Part II of the thesis turns to a consideration of the normative values that have shaped conceptions of institutional power in Australia. This part of the thesis argues that, owing to the period in which the Australian Constitution was adopted, and certain aspects of Australian history, the Australian conception of government is characterised by what can be termed ‘new liberalism’ or ‘progressivism’, giving what can be recognised as a ‘functionalist’ character to Australian public law. A key tenet of new liberalism was that freedom was to be achieved through the state. A further tenet was that the people should be ‘self-governing’. Both ideas can be distinguished from the classical conception of liberalism at the centre of the traditional Diceyan conception of constitutionalism. This thesis argues that the presence of these ideas in the decades before and after Federation can be regarded as having helped to shape a concept of judicial power, which operates to prevent arbitrary state action and protect the overall health of the
constitutional system itself, but otherwise leave questions of public policy or morality for resolution by the people themselves through the political process.

▼ Public actors associated with the tradition of American antislavery constitutionalism in the nineteenth-century insisted that the Constitution of 1787 contained certain inbuilt purposes or animating principles, which ought to have aided
constitutional interpreters in construing specific provisions of the
constitutional text that related, directly or indirectly, to the law and politics of slavery in the United States. The Constitution of 1787 recognized the existence of slavery in the several states, yet antislavery constitutionalists interpreted even the slavery-related clauses as aspiring toward a certain liberal
constitutional vision that was not yet a reality. In this dissertation, I argue, first, that these nineteenth-century interpretations of the Constitution in antislavery terms were intricately bound up with theories of natural law, and, second, I suggest that this aspect of the antislavery
constitutional tradition offers a strong interpretive challenge (both descriptive and normative) to various aspects of the current scholarly literature on
constitutional development and
constitutional theory.

▼ The First Principles and Organic Laws of the United States ought to be part of a daily discussion at every water cooler and every dinner table in the country. Instead, it is entirely possible there have been days, weeks, months—or even years—when neither term has been spoken anywhere in America. Yet, during the first several decades of the country’s existence, the concepts of First Principles and Organic Laws were commonly discussed; in fact these notions were crucial to the founding of the country and its political organization. Works concerning the foundation of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the American War for Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the men involved in these events and creating these documents, are perhaps the most published in the United States. Nonetheless, arguably few American citizens have an accurate understanding of these concepts, events, documents, and men—and they are virtually all men. One method by which to stimulate discussion about how the United States was politically organized, how it
is politically organized, and how it might be possible to re-organize the political system of the United States, is an exposition of the First Principles and Organic Laws; and of the events, documents, and men, associated with them. This exegesis is underscored by three years of research that produced 750 footnotes from overwhelmingly primary sources, with a 43-page Bibliography. The results are decidedly at odds with the commonly internalized mythology of the United States. It is the prerogative of the citizen reader to use the information herein to discuss and debate the political, social, and economic, organization of the United States; or to perhaps Alter or Abolish it.

▼ This study of American
constitutional theory and practice offers a distinctive perspective on the interminable war powers debate, a view away from formal
constitutional settlement and towards a deliberative
constitutional politics for war. Contemporary war powers scholarship centers on the question of how the rise of discretionary executive power and receding legislative influence over the use of military force should be constitutionally evaluated and addressed. This dissertation shows that underlying the conventional divide between congressionalist and presidentialist interpretations of the Constitution are competing theories about how such a balance of powers is to be politically constituted that have important implications for the interbranch politics of warmaking. The predominate framing of the war powers debate has been from the vantage point of legal constitutionalism – centering on
constitutional interpretation, statutory clarification, and ultimately judicial review to clearly establish the authority over the use of military force. After describing the theoretical promises of the formal entrenchment of the separation of powers, an examination of
constitutional practice reveals this approach to be a contemporary construction that has tended to undermine the purposes to which it aspires. The dissertation then turns to consider a more fully political constitutionalism, a conception with roots in the American founding and which has seen a revival in recent scholarly discussions. Political constitutionalism accommodates continual discord over the proper boundaries of institutional authority in war and the inevitability of some executive discretion as inherent and potentially salutary elements of the political order. The analysis shows that the warmaking order that emerges from such a
constitutional politics should not entail anything goes, but instead can be judged by the extent the branches engage in recurring interactions that amount to systemic deliberation, a standard drawn from the political form of the constitution itself. This study concludes with a sketch of how processes of legal constitutionalism might be integrated into the deliberative interbranch warmaking politics aspired to by political constitutionalism and a view towards the broader political foundations of a deliberative
constitutional system for war.

▼ This thesis has three objectives. Its primary objective is to examine, and critically evaluate, the theoretical accounts offered by Hans Kelsen and Joseph Raz to explain the temporal continuity and discontinuity of legal systems. In particular, it evaluates the explanatory power of those accounts by combining an abstract analysis of the accounts in principle and an evaluation based on systematically applying them to one concrete, historically circumstanced instance: the legal systems of British derivation in Australia between 1788 and 2001. The thesis thus tests each account’s factual fit: how adequately it corresponds to, accords with, and persuasively makes sense of, the facts – including complex social facts, attitudes and normative standards – for which it purports to offer an account. Second, the thesis aims to demonstrate, more generally, the utility of applying theoretical accounts to a particular historical instance to complement abstract analysis. Third, the thesis aims to advance the understanding of the evolution of Australian legal systems between 1788 and 2001. These three objectives are achieved through the critical exposition and reconstruction of the accounts, their development and enrichment where refinement is appropriate, their application to the specific context of Australia and their evaluation, individually and in comparison.

▼ Connu en droit administratif, le thème de l’empirisme et du conceptualisme interroge la possibilité pour la doctrine, d’induire de la jurisprudence des catégories plus générales et abstraites, facilitant la connaissance d’une discipline essentiellement jurisprudentielle. L’idée de confronter cette problématique au droit constitutionnel est d’abord liée aux mutations de la discipline depuis la création du Conseil constitutionnel en 1958. Précisément, le développement de la jurisprudence constitutionnelle pouvait laisser présumer une facette empirique en droit constitutionnel, susceptible d’interroger la nécessité pour la doctrine, de procéder a posteriori à une mise en ordre synthétique des décisions du Conseil constitutionnel. En réalité, l’alternance entre l’empirisme et le conceptualisme en droit constitutionnel dépasse le seul rapport de la doctrine et la jurisprudence. La présente étude s’efforce alors de saisir dans tous les stades de la discipline, et quelles que soient les sources, le travail de systématisation du droit. Néanmoins, il ne s’agit pas de se contenter de suivre, conformément à une démarche chronologique, l’évolution de la pensée en droit constitutionnel, mais de procéder à l’identification de périodes. Le conceptualisme ancien, hérité des premiers manuels de droit constitutionnel à la fin du XIXe siècle, a permis d’élaborer les grands principes du droit constitutionnel français. Partant, l’évolution des méthodes doctrinales tout au long du XXe et au début du XXIe siècle, en lien avec l’évolution du droit lui-même, soumet ces principes à des démarches plus empiriques. Il s’agit d’abord, d’un premier courant doctrinal apparu à la suite de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qualifié dans le cadre de la présente étude de « empirisme politique », puis, aux alentours des années 1970, d’un second courant, défendant un « empirisme juridique ». Enfin et cette dernière période demeure en cours, le développement de la jurisprudence du Conseil constitutionnel, caractérisée par son empirisme, ouvre la voie à un « empirisme jurisprudentiel », dont les enjeux sont plus largement abordés dans la présente étude.
The issue of empiricism and conceptualism has been studied in administrative law. It refers to the possibility for academics to infer general and abstract categories from case law. Such reasoning by induction aims to facilitate the knowledge of administrative law, which essentially consists of case law. Studying this issue in constitutional law is justified by the changes which have occurred in the discipline since the birth of the Conseil Constitutionnel in 1958. Specifically, the development of constitutional case law has led to the assumption that constitutional law has a more empirical dimension and that new relations are being established between academics and judges. In practice, the alternation between empiricism and conceptualism in constitutional law goes beyond the relation between legal scholars and case law. Thus, this study attempts to capture the systematization of law in all stages of the…

▼ This thesis explores the meaning and content of s. 41 of the Official Languages Act of Canada, which imposes certain duties on all federal institutions towards French- and English-language minority communities. While vitally important as a component of Canada's language rights archictecture, the nature and content of s. 41 as a legal norm remain woefully unclear. The immediate aim is to determine: (1) whether s. 41 confers a right to specific measures in particular cases; (2) whether such rights are individual or collective; and (3) if collective, what sort of interests are protected. Section 41 presents a number of interpretive challenges. First, it uses terminology which is undefined in the Act and yet has no self-evident meaning. Thus, the nature of the primary legal subject, 'linguistic minority communities' (LMCs), is unclear, as are the nature of the protected interests, 'vitality' and 'development'. Second, the interpretive principles developed by the case-law for official language rights rely on a conceptual framework that is vague and under-theorized. Key components of that framework, like the concept of a necessary link between language and culture, have yet to be fully explored, either in the case-law or in legal scholarship. This presents an acute problem in the case of s. 41, where the content of these concepts will likely prove dispositive. In order to grapple with these challenges, this thesis develops an account of language rights as collective rights. Drawing on the philosophical literature and existing case-law, I argue that LMCs should be conceived of as collectivities rather than mere aggregates of individuals, and that a number of language rights, such as s. 41 of the OLA, and ss. 16.1 and 23 of the Charter, aim to protect the collective interests of these collectivities. I then define some of these interests from both an empirical and a normative perspective. I conclude by arguing that s. 41 of the OLA protects an 'autonomy interest', which both prohibits federal institutions from interfering with existing LMC autonomy, and provides a basis for claiming enhancements to that autonomy, within the confines of the statutory mandate of the institution in question.

Natural law in American jurisprudence: Calder vs. Bull and Corfield v. Coryell and their progeny.

▼ This dissertation seeks to answer the question of whether and to what extent principles of natural law have figured in Supreme Court jurisprudence in the last two centuries. In the last quarter-century, scholars and judicial analysts have displayed a renewed interest in natural law reasoning and whether justices do or should take cognizance of natural law considerations. The issue became prominent during the 1991 confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas, who had written and spoken favorably of natural law as a guiding principle in constitutional adjudication.
Two cases and their progeny figure herein. In Calder v. Bull (1798), Supreme Court Justices Samuel Chase and James Iredell discussed whether principles of natural justice placed limits on legislatures beyond which they could not go, or whether judges could rely only on specific constitutional restraints in evaluating legislative acts. In Corfield v. Coryell (1823), Justice Bushrod Washington explained that the Constitution’s Privileges and Immunities Clause protects those rights that are “fundamental,” and many subsequent commentators and courts have given this statement a natural rights gloss.
This work contributes to existing Supreme Court literature by tracing the entire history of Calder and Corfield, the two cases most frequently cited for potentially having natural law implications. The paper considers each citation as it is relevant to the natural law debate; cases are excluded only because they are cited for another point. For example, cases that cite Calder for its holding that the Constitution’s Ex Post Facto clause only applies to criminal cases are not considered.
The paper concludes that natural law considerations now figure in Supreme Court jurisprudence only in a mediated sense. While several Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century opinions, including Corfield itself, accept natural law principles as interpretative guides, natural law as a free-standing source of adjudication has faded from Supreme Court jurisprudence. Concomitantly, the Privileges and Immunities Clause as a source of rights has been largely discarded in favor of a substantive due-process jurisprudence, with the Court adopting a gradual, common-law type of approach in determining the constitutional limits of government interference with Americans’ rights.

▼ A different type of polity requires a different type of constitution; more importantly, it also requires a different way of thinking, a new constitutionalism able to address the relevant descriptive and normative questions facing this new political entity. This thesis tries to contribute to the development of EU constitutionalism by focusing on the interplay between the different normative concerns behind the EU’s market freedoms identified in traditional legal discourse – as results mainly from court decisions and academic discussions –, and the institutional environment which mediates the freedoms’ application. It is hypothesised that such interplay can be better understood by reference to the findings of some disciplines ‘external’ to internal legal discourses such as economics, philosophy, or political science. Normatively, it is hoped that debates concerning the market freedoms that take into account ‘external elements’ will be more attractive to the legal community than those that do not include such considerations. Descriptively, it is submitted that the incorporation of insights arising from these ‘external’ disciplines into the traditional modes of discourse and analysis on the EU market freedoms – in effect, the internalisation of these ‘external’ elements – can provide better descriptive fits of the law and its development than theories that do not take them into account. An incidental result of this approach is that by the end of this thesis a theory of the market freedoms will have been sketched: by combining ‘internal’ and ‘external’ elements, an analytical framework can be developed that is able to make descriptive sense, formally and substantively, of free movement law at both its most general – where formal common structures seem to be undeniable, and a minimum common substantive content can be found –, and at its most detailed levels – where substantive variations and greater normative specification seem to exist.

▼ Le droit politique est aujourd’hui un mystère. L’expression, qui désignait ce que l’on a désormais l’habitude d’appeler le droit constitutionnel, a déserté les manuels et n’est plus guère employée que pour décrire un temps révolu. Plusieurs auteurs français font toutefois exception et revendiquent au contraire le droit politique comme une façon renouvelée de traiter de la matière constitutionnelle. Ces auteurs se distinguent notamment au sein de la doctrine française par le scepticisme avec lequel ils accueillent le traitement privilégié voire exclusif dont bénéficie actuellement le contentieux constitutionnel. Sans nier le bouleversement que représente l’avènement de la justice constitutionnelle, les auteurs du droit politique valorise une conception institutionnelle, historique et politique du droit constitutionnel. C’est le moyen par lequel ils cherchent à construire une théorie de la Constitution. Le droit politique ne fait cependant pas toujours l’objet d’une définition claire et globale de la part des auteurs qui s’en réclament. Il est certes possible de déceler une cohérence dans l’ensemble des travaux concernés, mais la pensée qu’ils traduisent mérite d’être systématisée, pour mieux faire apparaître l’enjeu doctrinal que revêt l’émergence d’une théorie du droit politique. La cohérence du droit politique s’éprouve d’abord sur le plan ontologique, puisqu’elle propose une définition de la Constitution qui, appuyée sur l’étude du droit positif, en livre une analyse efficace. Les travaux du droit politique portent également en creux une réflexion épistémologique, qui n’offre pas moins de cohérence que d’originalité.
Droit politique is today a mystery. That utterance, which once refered to what is now usually called constitutional law, has disappeared from textbooks and is henceforth only used to describe a bygone age. Several french lawyers make however exception, by claiming that droit politique is a new way of dealing with constitutional matters. These authors distinguich themselves by showing their scepticism about the development of constitutional litigation. If they don’t deny that the constitutional jurisdiction has deeply transformed political systems, they prefer to value an institutional, historical and political definition of constitutional law. According to these lawyers, this is the way to build a constitutional theory. Droit politique is yet not always clearly or globaly defined. Still it is possible to detect some consistency into the many ideas it suggests, but those need to be systematized, in order to emphasize the contribution of droit politique to doctrinal dispute. The droit politique’s consistency can first be proven regarding its ontology, which offers a relevant analysis of positive law. Droit politique’s consistency is also methodological. Although implicit, its methodology appears as coherent as it is original.

▼ Thomas Jefferson's contribution to the development of public administration in the United States has been largely neglected. When we think of Jefferson our minds naturally reflect back to his authorship of the Declaration of American Independence, his commitment to religious freedom, his unwavering support for universal education at all levels of instruction, his establishment of the University of Virginia, and his public service as Foreign Minister to France, Secretary of State, Vice President and President of the United States. Such extraordinary political and professional accomplishments often keep us from connecting Jefferson to the art and science of public administration. A careful examination of Jefferson's life, however, from his election to the presidency in 1800 to his death in 1826 reveals that he made important and noteworthy contributions to the study and practice of public administration - contributions that have been virtually ignored by the field as a whole. By examining how Jefferson thought about administration at the beginning of his political career compared with how he applied it during his later, more mature years reveals a remarkable change in perspective that can only come through experience in public service.
The purpose of this dissertation is to tell the story of how this transformation occurred. Such a story illustrates how one of the most influential and important statesmen in American history developed an appreciation for administration by governing the nation as president and by establishing a state institution for higher education, radically different from any other in the nation, designed to connect the importance of an educated citizenry with the preservation of the nation's
constitutional heritage.

▼ Systématiquement présente dans les discours depuis l’affirmation du positivisme juridique, la sanction est souvent confondue avec la contrainte et la violence étatique, ce qui a comme conséquence sa naturelle exclusion du domaine du droit public, et notamment constitutionnel. En tant qu’élément du discours doctrinal, et suivant une définition stipulative préalable, ce concept apparaît en revanche très utile pour comprendre l’affrontement des courants constitutionnalistes, à propos de la façon d’envisager la science du droit constitutionnel et son principal objet, la constitution. L’étude des usages du concept de sanction constitutionnelle par les discours doctrinaux permet de construire deux modèles de discours : un modèle exclusif et un modèle inclusif. Dans les deux discours, la sanction est un instrumentum, dont les enjeux sont très divers : le type exclusif de discours souhaite la décrire à travers la sanction, et le discours inclusif vise à la rendre efficace par-delà la sanction purement juridique. On peut ainsi considérer le modèle exclusif porté par la logique normativiste comme une conception limitée de la création des normes juridiques, tendant à faire sortir du domaine de l’analyse juridique tout élément considéré comme impure. À l’inverse, le discours inclusif reconnaît un pluralisme consensuel, où tous les destinataires participent à la création normative et sont pour cela davantage enclins à respecter les normes qu’en raison de la présence d’une sanction. Le discours inclusif sur la sanction constitutionnelle cherche à garantir les droits fondamentaux par des sanctions juridictionnelles, tout en maintenant l’importance du rôle de l’adhésion des individus, et en limitant le caractère consensuel du droit, du moins pour une partie des sujets : les gouvernants.
Consistently present in the legal discourse since the assertion of legal positivism, sanction is often confused with coercion and state violence, which resulted in his exclusion from the natural domain of public law, including Constitutional Law. As part of doctrinal discourse, according to a preliminary stipulative definition, this concept appears, however, very useful in order to understand the current constitutional debate, about how to approach constitutional science and its principal object, the constitution. The study of the uses of the concept of constitutional sanction by the doctrinal discourse can build two models of discourse: an exclusive model and an inclusive model. In both discourses, sanction is a instrumentum, but the stakes are very different, and yet still related to the prominence of a certain conception of the constitution and constitutional law; exclusive type of discourse tend to define the constitution as a norm through sanction, and inclusive discourse aims to make it effective beyond the purely legal sanction. The model worn by the exclusive normativist logic can be considered as a limited conception of the creation of legal norms, tending to exclude from the field of legal analysis any item considered impur. In contrast,…

La valeur dans la jurisprudence constitutionnelle : The value in constitutional jurisprudence.

▼ L’idée selon laquelle le droit serait étranger à la valeur constitue un véritable lieu commun de la pensée juridique moderne. Elle méritait, pour cette raison, d’être interrogée. Si le droit est avant tout un discours, la valeur est assurément un objet de ce discours comme en attestent les nombreuses controverses que la notion est susceptible de provoquer. Norme et valeur, norme juridique et valeur morale, fait et droit, constituent autant d’incarnations des controverses que la problématique de la valeur est susceptible de générer. Contrairement aux idées reçues, l’analyse montre que la valeur constitue un véritable objet juridique dont il est possible, au sein d’un champ particulier de la discipline juridique et à l’issue d’une démarche spécifique de conceptualisation, de rendre compte. Premièrement, l’analyse laisse apparaître que la valeur appartient au genre normatif (intension du concept). Elle participe ainsi de la rationalité juridique. Si la valeur peut s’entendre d’une norme, il s’agit bien, en tout état de cause, d’une norme spécifique ; distincte de la façon dont la pensée juridique a, jusqu’à présent, conçu la norme juridique. La valeur juridique est alors une norme substantiellement valide – par opposition à la norme juridique formellement valide – mais également une norme hypothétique – par opposition à la valeur morale catégorique. Définie de la sorte, la valeur s’accommode tout particulièrement de certaines évolutions contemporaines, propres au phénomène juridique (développement des droits fondamentaux, convergence des ordres juridiques, évolution du contrôle de constitutionnalité vers un contrôle de la proportionnalité). Deuxièmement, l’analyse laisse apparaître que, dans l’acception retenue, les valeurs sont omniprésentes dans la jurisprudence constitutionnelle (extension du concept). Les propositions de valeur constituent l’essentiel des termes de la décision du juge constitutionnel français, et guident également son interprétation. Dans la première hypothèse, les valeurs sont bien des normes de références de la décision et s’incarnent alors dans les catégories langagières spécifiquement mobilisées par le juge constitutionnel – notamment les exigences, nécessités et impératifs constitutionnels. Dans la seconde hypothèse, les valeurs constituent le sens des décisions du juge constitutionnel et permettent d’assigner à la normativité constitutionnelle – la constitutionnalité – une certaine rationalité.
The idea that law is unrelated to value is a commonplace in modern legal thinking. For this reason, it deserved to be questioned. If law is above all a discourse, value is certainly an object of that discourse, as evidenced by the many controversies that the notion is likely to provoke. Norm and value, legal norm and moral value, fact and law, are examples of the controversies that the issue of values is likely to generate. Contrary to common belief, the analysis shows that value constitutes a real legal object for which it is possible, within a particular field of legal discipline and following a…

▼ Constitutional change is relentless. Today, states jockey with regional associations, international organizations, transnational networks and sub-state authorities to define the scope of legitimate political conduct and establish rival bases for political affiliation. Constitutional theorists must be resolute but they should not be rigid. Especially in such uncertain conditions, theories are best understood not as plans to be implemented but as hypotheses to be tested. Charles Sabel and David Dyzenhaus write separately but share this pragmatic orientation, in which doubt is indispensable and truth is the end of public inquiry. They also share a distinctive belief that constitutionalism serves a moral end: it is the project of cultivating citizens who conceive their political community in terms of the commitments revealed by its practices. Their position, which is well suited for contemporary challenges, warrants elaboration and examination. British Columbia offers an ideal constitutional laboratory for that test. During the 1970s and 1980s, doubts mounted about the legitimacy of the constitutional settlement imposed by the Crown in the westernmost province of Canada. Legal, political and constitutional decisions raised the possibility that aboriginal rights and title survived colonization and Confederation. Since 1990, their existence has been confirmed in a cascade of constitutional experiments. Those initiatives can be distilled into four procedures: litigation, negotiation, consultation and collaboration. Although they have delivered practical benefits to some indigenous peoples, these procedures have not transformed provincial politics into a moral endeavour. The constraints on constitutionalism in British Columbia are both conceptual and institutional. Despite marginal improvements, those constraints endure and constitutionalism remains for now the sporadic pursuit of a small elite. To conceive constitutionalism as a project is to set a sound but exacting standard. Although British Columbia falls short, its failure is informative: the theory is useful.

▼ La modernité juridique porte en elle deux projets parfois contradictoires : le constitutionnalisme et la démocratie, c’est-à-dire la volonté de préserver la liberté de l’individu en limitant le pouvoir par la Constitution et celle d’associer les individus à l’élaboration des normes. Ce double projet se traduit dans le concept de démocratie constitutionnelle, dont il existe deux grandes conceptions. La première, dominante au sein de la doctrine juridique, fait de la protection des droits et libertés par un juge constitutionnel le point central de l’équilibre à réaliser entre liberté individuelle et exercice du pouvoir en commun. L’hypothèse qui sera la nôtre est de considérer que cette conception est soutenue par des discours à la fois descriptifs et prescriptifs, issus des autorités normatives ou de la doctrine, reposant essentiellement sur des présupposés libéraux. La mutation des droits de l’homme en droits fondamentaux ne peut se comprendre que dans le cadre d’une philosophie politique libérale, une conception particulière de la liberté, des droits et de la démocratie, ainsi que dans un contexte historique spécifique. Il existe cependant une seconde conception de la démocratie constitutionnelle, reposant, quant à elle, sur la philosophie républicaine. Celle-ci entend se séparer d’une conception trop centrée sur le juge, pour réévaluer le rôle des institutions élues et du peuple, dans la concrétisation de la Constitution. Ce républicanisme juridique, longtemps ignoré par la doctrine française, mais davantage théorisé à l’étranger, apporte ainsi des réponses utiles aux diverses évolutions venues perturber le champ classique du droit constitutionnel : développement des droits fondamentaux, déploiement de la justice constitutionnelle, érosion de la responsabilité politique, disparition du peuple, évolutions de la souveraineté. À cetitre, l’étude du républicanisme permet à la fois de mettre en lumière les limites de la conception libérale dominante de la démocratie constitutionnelle, tout en proposant une conception renouvelée de celle-ci.
Constitutionalism, and Democracy, are the two projects of modernity. The concept of constitutional democracy carries theses two projects. There are two conceptions of constitutional democracy. The first one is the most popular in legal scholarship. It is centred on rights-based judicial review. Our hypothesis is that this conception of constitutional democracy is backed up by descriptive and normative discourses resting on liberal assumptions. Therefore, the evolution from human rights to fundamental right is based on a specific conception of freedom, rights, democracy, and a specific historical context. This dominant view is not the only view. The second conception of constitutional democracy is based on republican philosophy. The republican view intent to overtake the judicial-centred conception of democracy, by rehabilitating elected institutions and the people themselves. This legal republicanism is widely ignored by French scholars, but very dynamic abroad, gives us tools to…

▼ As attention of scholars shift from perils of presidentialism to perils of semipresidentialism in the recent decades, French style of cohabitation power sharing mode in the executive merits our endeavor to understand the micro-dynamics that is embedded in it. It includes how it emerged, how it was practiced and what consequences it produced. Such effort, if wisely applied, can probably be helpful in slowing down the rate of political system breakdown in many of the newly emerged democratic systems that emulate the French model. After an introduction to the blackbox of French cohabitation, the remainder of the dissertation is divided into eight chapters. Chapter 2 briefly reviews the existing literature on French cohabitation. Chapter 3 introduces the interpretive paradigm of qualitative research that is employed to analyze data and to facilitate
theory building. In the 4th theoretical discussion chapter, three elements of practice
theory approach â temporality, duality of structure and unanticipated consequences are elaborated respectively. The three elements correspond to answer three research questions comprising how cohabitation emerged, how it was practiced and what kinds of consequences it produced. Chapter 5 to 8 display findings to the questions. They unravel for us other faces of French cohabitation which can be an active outcome of rationalization, a dynamic generator and a collective inevitable self-deception. Chapter 9 concludes by delineating theoretical and practical contribution of the dissertation.

▼ The way the vast majority of us think about the
self, consciousness and free will is incorrect – dramatically out
of step with what the majority of neuroscientists, cognitive
psychologists scientists and analytic philosophers have to say
about those subjects. One consequence of these erroneous views is
that the manner in which the majority of us understand ‘freedom’ –
as a metaphysical term and as a political concept – is sharply at
odds with how things actually are. We replicate similar kinds of
errors when we think about how various forms of human association
are constructed and how change actually occurs within such
associations. Once again, epistemological fallacies with regard to
social
theory have the consequence of leading us to attribute far
greater ‘freedom’ to groups than they actually possess. This second
misattribution of autonomy results in institutional political
arrangements and
constitutional doctrines at odds with what we know
about the human condition. As things stand, the various models of
political
theory with which the South African
Constitutional Court
operates rest upon a belief that the rights and freedoms enshrined
in the Final Constitution should enable individuals to exercise
relatively unfettered control over decisions about the intimate
relationships and the various practices deemed critical to their
self-understanding. However, individual autonomy as a foundation
for
constitutional theory overemphasizes dramatically the actual
space for self-defining choices. In truth, our experience of
personhood, of self-consciousness, is a function of a complex set
of narratives over which we exercise little in the way of (self)
control. The involuntary and arational nature of identity formation
– at the level of both the individual and the social – requires a
constitutional theory that supplants the model of a rational
individual moral agent which undergirds much of our current
jurisprudence with a vision of the self that is more appropriately
located within and determined by the associations to which we all
belong. Despite the involuntary and arational nature of identity
formation, we can live within communities that determine the
greater part of the meaning we make, and still remain committed to
the possibility of significant change (for the better) within those
communities. This thesis then goes on to explain how a commitment
to experimentalism in the political domain, when married to a
robust conception of basic entitlements and citizenship, services
human flourishing. (To expand the conditions for flourishing,
however, is not to make us metaphysically ‘free’ to ‘will’ our
actions: a commitment to flourishing reflects an attempt to create
an environment in which all inhabitants of South Africa have the
opportunity to live lives worth valuing.) Experimental
constitutionalism dovetails with a very modest, naturalized account
of flourishing because both accounts (1) take the radical givenness
of existing constitutive attachments seriously; (2) recognize the
boundedness of individual and collective…

▼ This PhD project explores the possibility of creating a normative way of assessing quality of the judicial organisation by arguing that legitimacy is related to the functioning of the organisation. This further leads to the idea that the judiciary can be held constitutionally accountable for its organisation or lack thereof. This is a comparative thesis looking at the judicial organisations and the constitutional settings of France and the Netherlands. The issue of quantifying and measuring quality in the judicial organisation poses an interesting challenge. On the one hand, it has a special status within the separation of powers to uphold the law. In a constitutional state (rechtsstaat) based on a democracy, the checks and balances have been set out to protect judicial independence whilst finding legally conventional ways to hold members of the judiciary to account for the exercise of their power. For the last two centuries, the system has held the three powers in balance in order to protect people from arbitrary abuse of power. Legality has always been the basis upon which public organisations make decisions in a democracy. The same is said for the judiciary. So long as judges followed rules of procedure, no matter how long it took, and how easily manipulated (by lawyers), they were judges were acting within the bounds of legality (due process). This was (and still is) valid in the days of corrupt and partial officials, or of the days of bureaucracy, when there were so many rules that the protection that due process should have afforded was failing and red tape hid the actions of state officials. On the other hand, the judiciary is an organisation with limited resources to fulfil their tasks. Given the fact that their organisation has been ignored due to judicial independence, judiciaries throughout Europe have had to cope with growing caseloads and no organisational solution. Today, therefore, there is a new organisational enemy: ineffectiveness through failure of the organisation to act efficiently. Resources and use thereof are not the only issue in policy today: there is also an issue of timeliness. In the sphere in which the judiciary acts, this is essential as their judgments must be relevant at the time that they are issued. If judgments do not give solutions to problems at the time they are needed, they lack legitimacy. If judgments lack legitimacy, then the judiciary begins to lose the trust of the public. From this thesis, it would appear that quality theories support the function of justice and provide transparent methods for organisation. Furthermore, as regards the organisation, quality methods appear to have given the judiciary in both countries the possibility to examine in closer detail the elements involved in the delivery of effective justice.

▼ The purpose of this thesis, based on philosophical hermeneutic, is developing the constitutional dirigisme philosophic grounds, in the context of surpassing the dominant paradigm of legal positivism of Brazilian Law. Founded on the Gadamerian structural model of art and play, and on the Heideggerian ontological phenomenology, the text intends to analyze critically the components of the dominant legal imaginary, aiming to show the ways to deconstruct the legal imaginary and consequently to surpass the legal positivism. The accomplishment of this task makes the recognition of the normative force of the dirigent Constitution possible. The constitutional dirigisme is conceived in the context of the surpassing of the metaphysical dualism of the subject-object scheme derived from the Cartesian philosophy of conscience, coherently with a material theory of Constitution, understood as a constitutionally appropriated Constitution theory. The theory of Constitution developed in the text is adapted to the needs of a society that is still in process of democratic consolidation, as the Brazilian one
A presente dissertação tem por objetivo construir, a partir da hermenêutica filosófica, uma justificação filosófica ao dirigismo constitucional, no contexto da superação do paradigma positivista que impera no Direito brasileiro. Com base no modelo estrutural do jogo e na noção de arte, de matriz gadameriana, e com suporte na fenomenologia ontológica heideggeriana, o texto se propõe a analisar criticamente os elementos que formatam e sustentam o imaginário jurídico positivista dominante, para posteriormente apresentar, por meio da hermenêutica filosófica, caminhos à desconstrução desse imaginário e à conseqüente superação do positivismo jurídico, possibilitando o reconhecimento da força normativa da Constituição dirigente. O dirigismo constitucional é concebido a partir da superação do dualismo metafísico do esquema sujeito-objeto oriundo da filosofia cartesiana da consciência, de forma coerente com uma teoria material da Constituição, entendida como uma teoria da Constituição constitucionalmente adequada, adaptada às necessidades de uma sociedade que, como a brasileira, ainda se encontra em processo de consolidação democrática
