It seeks to provide students with the appropriate analytical and argumentative tools to address the main open issues in constitutional law, also through the analysis of cases and current constitutional developments. Through the analysis of concrete cases concerning the relationships between citizens and institutions, as well as the protection of rights at both national and supranational levels, students will begin to familiarize themselves with public law norms through a critical reading of the Constitution. This approach will allow them to address emerging topics of great relevance for future generations, such as citizenship, equality and non-discrimination, the protection of human rights, and more specifically, the emergence of new rights like environmental rights and internet rights.
