Summary
Only in 1998, the Constitution of the Republic of Latvia – Satversme, which has been adopted more than a hundred years ago and is one of the oldest constitutions in Europe, was supplemented with a new chapter concerning the regulation of fundamental human rights. Until the adoption of Chapter 8 of the Satversme, only a few fundamental human rights could be found in the Constitution.
The article discusses the development of the regulation of fundamental rights in the Satversme, the importance of fundamental rights in a democratic state, as well as reflects the catalogue of fundamental rights. In the article, the authors, looking at the catalogue of fundamental rights included in the Satversme, analyses fundamental rights by dividing them in groups, i.e. civil, political, social, economic, cultural and solidarity rights. The publication outlines the most characteristic features of each group of fundamental rights, points out content of those rights and looks into the recent case law of the Constitutional Court.
The publication can contribute to the study material for law students of constitutional law course.
