This episode explores some of the fundamental foundations of the constitutional democratic state with experts in political and constitutional theory. What basic rights and duties of citizens are entailed by the concept of a democratic constitution? Do democratic constitutions have to resemble an ‘ideal’ type? Can the concept of democracy be applied to entities other than states, such as multinational federations? And how can we build the redress of historic injustices into modern constitutions?
