Constitutional Democracy

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the perceived tension between liberal rights and democratic equality, arguing that these values can coexist harmoniously within a constitutional framework. János Kis presents a new theory of constitutional democracy, addressing key issues such as popular sovereignty and the role of non-elected justices. Divided into three parts, it revisits the liberal-democrat debate, establishes the compatibility of liberalism and democracy, and analyzes constitutional adjudication. It is aimed at scholars of political philosophy and those interested in democratic transitions, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe.
