Abstract (in inglese)
The issue of constitutional revision leads the Author, first of all, to question the meaning of formalism and in particular, during regime changes, how many and which limits the interpreter of Constitution, as a normative text, has to respect.
As taught by the dramatic experience of National Socialism , new instances and ideologies can conflict with legal dogmatics until the destruction of the existing positive laws, requiring, for this purpose, the jurists’group necessary accession.
However, even without the example of totalitarianism, the Author wants to emphasize how political changes require the scholars to look at the relationship between State, Constitution, civil society and normative system.
With respect to Italian situation, treasuring the contribution of the most authoritative doctrine, in particular the reading of Vezio Crisafulli, the Author emphasize how changes can be legally legitimate only if they recognize that the revison law is a specific and suitable law source; the only able to provide a broad consensus on the constitutional text and the political unity about Constitution.
