Proportionality and the Global Model of Constitutional Rights
Proportionality is widely considered to be the most important doctrine of constitutional law around the globe. But what is the point of the principle of proportionality? In my presentation I will argue that proportionality has to be considered in conjunction with the other features of what I have called ‘the global model of constitutional rights’: rights inflation, vertical as well as horizontal effect of rights, and negative and positive obligations, including social rights. The global model of constitutional rights is best explained as being concerned with the protection of every person’s autonomy: the point of rights is not to disable the state in certain ways, but rather to enable every person to live his or her life autonomously. Every person’s autonomy is limited by every other person’s equal claim to autonomy; hence, the point of state policies is to resolve conflicts of autonomy interests and to specify the spheres ofautonomy of equal citizens. Proportionality offers a useful structure that guides judges in their inquiry as to whether a given policy resolves a conflict of autonomy interests in a reasonable way.
