CONSTITUTIONAL LAW OF SOCIAL FORMATION

1. Knowledge and understanding: the course will pay attention to the issue of inviolable human rights and, specifically, to the issues related to social formations of constitutional importance. The student must acquire adequate knowledge to understand the issues related to rights and freedoms, with particular reference to the discipline that the Constitutional Text reserves to social groups.
2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student must be able to examine the various constituent elements of social formations having constitutional significance, also relating their respective disciplines.
3. Making judgments: the student must demonstrate the ability to analyze the legal regime applicable to the various social groups, also assessing the compliance of a regulation with respect to the constitutional provisions for the protection of fundamental rights.
4. Communication skills: the student, using an adequate legal terminology, must demonstrate that he is able to dwell on the analysis of the qualifying and constitutive elements of a social formation. If necessary, he must be able to clearly communicate the object of a legal text, summarize the fundamental points and grasp the possible implications.
5. Learning skills: the student must have acquired learning skills that can face independently any legal problems with which he will be called to confront.

The course will take place on the basis of lectures and will end with an oral exam.

The course of lessons will pay attention to the issue of inviolable human rights, both in the single sphere and in the collective sphere, in order to allow the student to acquire greater sensitivity on social issues of great importance. The lessons will focus on the constituent and essential elements of the state, then taking into consideration the legal rules through which the political choices are expressed within the legal system. On the basis of these premises, the rights and freedoms will then be treated, with particular reference to the discipline that the Constitutional Text reserves to social formations.
