description

The paper aims to reconstruct the doctrinal evolution of the juridical thought in the transition from liberal constitutionalism - identifiable with the nineteenth-century theories of the "rule of law" - to democratic-social constitutionalism that inspires and shapes the "Welfare State". In short, democratic-social constitutionalism can be viewed as the fundamental core of the social pact through which the European and Western civilisation manages to provide a democratic alternative to the disintegration of the liberal states. The main features of the new constitutionalism will be analyzed by focusing on what, in our opinion, can be considered its main “pillars”.
