O znaczeniu praw społecznych dla rozwoju obywatelstwa
On the Importance of Social Rights for the Development of Citizenship

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article attempts to understand the contemporary citizenship in the perspective of social rights. The theoretical framework is based on Thomas H. Marshall’s conception, which indicates the importance of social rights in the reduction of social inequalities. The article proposes two ways of understanding the essence of social rights. On the one hand, there are rights that guarantee a minimum standard “dignifed life”, on the other hand the ones that guarantee activity and resourcefulness, especially in a situation of social crisis. The article presents a typology of sources of rights and describes implementation of the rights in Poland on the example of people with disabilities.
