The modern democratic constitutional state sees itself first and foremost as the protective order of human freedom, as a guarantor of human rights. The state is at the service of freedom. That is why it is not the state, but man as a person and the society formed by him that is at the center of the political order. The democratic constitutional state, as the political organization of society for the attainment of the common good, must guarantee the freedom of society, i.e. the persons and communities of persons living and working together in it, and give it an order as good as possible.
