The containment of political power in constitutional historyCourts control political power, integrate legal constitutions into social reality and make basic and human rights effective. According to today's understanding, they are an eminent part of every constitutional order. How has judicial control of political power developed throughout history?In this seminar, we will try to understand the conditions of this development from a comparative historical perspective. To this end, we will look at selected case studies from different countries. Besides legal practice, the history of ideas of the constitutional order and of the highest jurisdiction will be taken into account.
