Abstract

In this work, Bobbio rebuilds the notion of constitution in Hegel’s work, and shows a way of conceiving it that does not match the constitutionalism as a theory of constitution that considers it a guarantee of individual freedom. Hegel understands the constitution, not as a law but as the foundation of the state unity against anarchy. This conception, which Bobbio considers that could be called “institutional”, is opposed to another way of understanding the constitution, which was typical of French and American constitutionalism or the British rule of law, where the constitution is based on a theory of freedom.
