⚖️ LESSON 69 · C2 MASTERY

⚖️ Italian Constitutional Law & Civic Language

⭐ 0 / 50 Mondi

⚖️ Vocabolario Costituzionale

la Costituzione
The Italian Constitution (1948): 139 articles, supreme law of the Republic.
i diritti fondamentali
Fundamental rights (Articles 2–54): inviolable, cannot be legislated away.
la sovranità popolare
Popular sovereignty (Art. 1): “La sovranità appartiene al popolo.”
il bicameralismo perfetto
Italy’s equal bicameralism: both Camera and Senato have identical powers.
la Corte Costituzionale
Constitutional Court: reviews laws for compatibility with the Constitution.
il referendum abrogativo
Abrogative referendum: citizens can repeal existing laws.

📖 L’Articolo 1 della Costituzione

“L’Italia è una Repubblica democratica, fondata sul lavoro. La sovranità appartiene al popolo, che la esercita nelle forme e nei limiti della Costituzione.”

Note the civic register: formal, impersonal, use of subjunctive-like constructions and legal precision. Key phrase: fondata sul lavoro — work is a constitutional value, not just an economic activity.

💬 Dialogue: Lezione di Diritto

Prof: Cosa distingue la Corte Costituzionale dal Parlamento?
Anna: La Corte non fa leggi — le controlla. È giudice delle leggi.
Prof: Esatto. E il referendum abrogativo?
Anna: Permette ai cittadini di cancellare una legge esistente.
