Research summary
The citizen’s sense of security in legislation and the study of constitutional norm of democracy Based on present data analysis of the phenomenon where advances are made for symbolic legislation (symbolische Gesetzgebung) which places importance in maintaining and improving the “sense of safety” (symbolization of legislation) of the citizen, rather than the removal and prevention of actual evil, the study seeks the possibility of establishing a constitutional norm theory that would act as a guideline for the “ideal legislation” based on the relationship of tension and complementation of the following two constitutional requirements: ① the bestowing of democratic legitimacy against legislation, and ②Constitutional state-like control of legislation. To achieve this objective, the state of German law with a build-up of discussion concerning this subject will be the immediate subject, to acquire indications on the legal status and academic theories in Japan. As a specific legal domain to achieve this, at the moment, we are making our approach in working on what the issue is and what should be discussed in the public order related legal domain, on the norm awareness of citizens seeking a “sense of safety” and how democracy should respond to them, and by capturing the stratified structure of judicial control over public order legislation established as a result.
