CONSTITUTION AS CULTURE
Peter Häberle
; Universität Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Deutschland
Abstract
The author considers constitutions not solely as legal systems intended primarily for lawyers but also as the legal expression of the state of cultural development, a means of cultural self-representation of a people, a mirror of its cultural heritage and the foundation of its hopes. He thinks that an interpretation of the state, besides the standard three elements, should include culture, if not as its “first” then at least as its fourth element. Häberle thinks that the concept of the constitution should not be fixated upon the state.
