Philippe ARDANT - Constitutions and Liberties

Pouvoirs n°84 - La liberté - janvier 1998 - p.61-74

The relationship between liberties and constitutions is as old as constitutions themselves. Once it was agreed to inscribe liberties in the constitutions they found their place at the center of the constitutional edifice in order to be more efficiently protected against any abuse of power. While all the liberties have not been integrated in the constitutions, they now coexist with a series of « rights » whose strength tends to be eroded by their very multiplication. Résumé
