Abstract
Hegel, the Weimar Constitution and the Interdependence of Rights and Duties
In his Elements of the Philosophy of Right, Hegel dealt with the question of the connection between rights and duties and underlined that rights need an affirmative agency in order to be implemented; this was guaranteed only through the ascertainment and fulfillment of duties. Hundred years later, this thematic was taken up again during the talks on the redaction of the Weimar Constitution in the newly elected National Assembly. The subsequent debate, which originally only concerned the issue of anchoring the fundamental rights in the constitution, was progressively confronted with the question of their endorsement by fundamental duties, which were considered as a necessary correlation to the rights for the sake of their realization. The article reconstructs the argumentative development of both issues, refers to their theoretical-political background and ascertains, in spite of some few differences, the common target of stressing the active role of the citizens and of the state in guaranteeing the rights.
