Horizontal Rights

Mehr zum Buch

The book introduces a novel conceptual framework for analyzing constitutional rights through a comparative lens, highlighting real-life cases where private power infringes upon individual rights. It examines scenarios such as a prestigious club excluding women from leadership roles and a homeowner discriminating based on race. The central question explored is whether individuals can invoke constitutional protections against such private actions, prompting a deeper discussion on the limits and applications of constitutional rights in everyday situations.
