Ethical Etiology of Constitutionalism as an Expression of Security Culture

Summary/Abstract: The basis for the functioning of social groups are moral principles developed in the course of shapingthe forms of interpersonal relations in collective life systems. Often, these ethical and moral principlestook the form of unwritten law, although deeply rooted in individual and social consciousness, performingan adequate regulatory function in a given social system. The following thesis is worth justifying: Moral-ity is a social phenomenon that constitutes the genesis of the phenomenon of law. Constitutionalism asa socio-cultural achievement is not an accidental creation, but rather the result of a centuries-old processof shaping culture, forms of social relations, customs, and, above all, security culture. Constitutionalismcannot be considered in isolation from the historical and cultural (moral) context. It should be assumedthat this socio-cultural achievement, materialized in a juridical form, is the quintessence of the develop-ment (maturation) of the model of social relations incorporated into the structure of a democratic state.Therefore, according to the authors, it is difficult to falsify the thesis that the idea of constitutionalismand the institutions representing it constitute an important pillar of security culture.
