The security in current constitutionalism: condition of possibility of human dignity
Abstract
The aim of Constitutionalism is the establishment of a political-legal system that makes it possible for human beings to lead a dignified life. To achieve this goal, it is necessary for the State to provide security. Contractualist and utilitarian philosophical theories have contributed important reflections that led to the inclusion of references to security from the earliest constitutional texts. The scope of security goes hand in hand with the constitutional model. Nowadays, a notion of security that does not also include the aims of the social State is inconceivable. Therefore, the classical concept of security has been expanded by the concepts of human security and national security, which address different dimensions of protection and well-being, either at the State or individual level. Thus, the content of the notion of security from a constitutional point of view should be broadened to include both the traditional roles of security provision by the State and those derived from the achievement and maintenance of the economic, social, and political conditions necessary for the development and progress of the nation.
