"Confidence and trust do not depend so much on specific individual persons and politicians but much more on institutions. On all continents are we confronted actually with major internal and international conflicts. There is no conflict which would have erupted if the great bulk of the people would have had confidence and trust in its Government. Those conflicts may have its cause in injustice, mistrust, hatred and historical jeal-ousy. But if constitutions had set up … mehrin time instruments which had forced the governments to deal with the real problems of their people, if they had been forced not only to hear the voices of the people but to listen to what the people are telling them, governments would have had to set up a catalogue of priorities and the major priority would and should have been establishment of confidence and trust not in the men but in the Constitution. For us scholars in constitutional law this new important challenge imposes on us a great responsibility. We shall not be able to meet this challenge without an open minded spirit, without critical approaches to new and old theories, without being devoted to the basic values of human rights, without being courageous and integrators." weniger
