The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the principles of constitutionalism, which has represented the fundamental achievement in the political and legal history of modern and contemporary societies. Its objective is to develop knowledge of the theoretical and philosophical foundations underlying the need to limit governmental power in order to safeguard the rights of citizens. The course further examines the mechanisms for protecting fundamental rights and maintaining the balance among constitutional powers, whose central importance becomes particularly evident when concrete threats arise to the preservation of that balance.
