75 YEARS OF THE GERMAN BASIC LAW - SOME OBSERVATIONS ON ITS EVOLUTION

Summary/Abstract: The German Basic Law celebrates its 75th anniversary in May. A glance at its evolution allows us to conclude that the core of the German constitution, its value section, i.e. its fundamental values of human dignity, freedom and equality and the associated fundamental rights, have been consolidated and strengthened by the jurisdiction of the Federal Constitutional Court. The second feature of the constitutional evolution is that fundamental rights have become internationalized and are particularly influenced by the supranational legal order of the European Union.
