The Social Constitution : Embedding Social Rights Through Legal Mobilization
In The Social Constitution, Whitney Taylor examines the conditions under which new constitutional rights become meaningful and institutionalized.Taylor introduces the concept of 'embedding' constitutional law to clarify how particular visions of law come to take root both socially and legally.Constitutional embedding can occur through legal mobilization, as citizens understand the law in their own way and make legal claims - or choose not to - on the basis of that understanding, and as judges decide whether and how to respond to legal claims.These interactions ultimately construct the content and strength of the constitutional order.Taylor draws on more than a year of fieldwork across Colombia and multiple sources of data, including semi-structured interviews, original surveys, legal documents, and participation observation.This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access.Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Does property rights supersede the constitution?
Property rights are protected by the constitution, but they do not necessarily supersede it. The constitution provides a framework for protecting property rights, but it also balances those rights with the broader interests of society. In some cases, the government may have the authority to limit or regulate property rights in the interest of public welfare, as long as it does so within the bounds of the constitution. Therefore, while property rights are important and protected, they are not absolute and must be balanced with other constitutional principles.

'In which constitution did one have more rights?'
The United States Constitution provides more rights to its citizens compared to the Confederate Constitution. The U.S. Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, which guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, as well as the right to a fair trial and protection against cruel and unusual punishment. In contrast, the Confederate Constitution did not have a similar bill of rights and instead emphasized the rights of states to maintain slavery and secede from the Union.

How do fundamental rights differ from human rights?
Fundamental rights are specific rights that are recognized and protected by a country's constitution or laws, and they are typically enforceable through legal means within that country. On the other hand, human rights are universal rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, and they are often recognized and protected by international agreements and treaties. While fundamental rights are specific to the legal framework of a particular country, human rights are considered to be universal and apply to all individuals worldwide. Additionally, fundamental rights may vary from country to country, while human rights are meant to be consistent and applicable to everyone.

Are rights cruel?
Rights themselves are not inherently cruel. In fact, they are designed to protect individuals from cruelty and ensure their well-being. However, the way in which rights are upheld or violated by individuals or institutions can certainly be cruel. When rights are denied or abused, it can lead to suffering and injustice. Therefore, the concept of rights is not cruel, but the actions of those who violate or ignore them can be.
