abstract
This proposal intends to study the concept of “self-determination” and its legal implications as an objective principle and subjective right intrinsically related to human rights and human dignity. It will also examine the recent axiological crisis and trivialization of public freedoms in the constitutional rule of law. Analytical, critical-evaluative, historical, and other methods are used without ignoring constitutional dogmatics as the basis of the theory of the Constitution. It is concluded that self-determination is not an absolute right whose limitations are prescribed in the constitutions, taking the German and Spanish constitutions as references. Regarded as paradigmatic, we contrast the disproportionate proliferation of fundamental rights and their axiological emptying, which characterizes and essentializes them. This is viewed as the root cause of the crisis they are going through, producing the phenomenon of deconstitutionalization. Thus, freedoms must be conceived and exercised rationally, measuredly, and, above all, responsibly.
