Sozialdemokratie Und Verfassungsverst ndnis Paperback

Peter Steinbach

Ever since people have thought about the nature of the constitution, they have theoretically and practically to solve the problem of permanent constitutional change. Polybios not only stated the seemingly natural change, but asked for constants in change. When he made out the lost consciousness of the ruinous living conditions in bad states as a condition for the decline, as well as the emergence of better constitutional orders, he was nevertheless in a position to name the criteria of a good constitution: equality and freedom of speech. He saw the alternative of such a bound and justified order in Faust. The Social Democratic constitutional theory is in this state of tension between social and biological freedoms and rights, but also of political violence - which did not come from the Social Democratic Party and its annexes. The persecution under Bismarck's exceptional law in 1878 and 1890 was followed by repression under Hitler between 1933 and 1945, which curtailed social-democratic options for action after the liberation from National Socialism to the western part of Germany. In view of these developments, Social Democratic constitutional theory could only be developed in the concrete examination of the respective political conditions and the reflection on history; It was not only derived from theoretical principles, but also reflected history: persecution, under-pressure, social problems.
