Summary

Constitutionalization of private law is a dazzling term. (1) Constitutionalization may mean materialization of private law through fundamental and human rights; (2) the idea of a private law society (Privatrechtsgesellschaft), as presented in Franz Böhm’s social theory of an economic constitution for a nation state (Chapter 6), or the European Union (Chapter 24); (3) or the self-constitutionalization of private law beyond the nation state (Chapter 25). In this chapter, constitutionalization is defined as the influence of fundamental and human rights – social, civil and political – rooted in national constitutions.
