The Constitutional Dimension of Conscience

Abstract

The basic question of the study is on what grounds a Christian can sue? Even if it were his/her fundamental rights protected by the Constitution, would it be better, if he/she mildly gave up his/her claim? This essay seeks to address this problem with the help of the evening examination of conscience. It draws the contours of an “emotional”, intent-oriented constitutionalism, based on human salvation and focusing on vices, instead of the mainstream, individualistic, consequence-oriented and rational constitutionalism.
