Das Unrechtsbewusstsein im demokratischen Rechtsstaat

»The Awareness of Wrongdoing in the Democratic Constitutional State. A Reconstruction Based on the Discourse Theory of Law«: Awareness of wrongdoing is more important for imputation in pluralistic societies. The obligation to be aware of norms in a democratic constitutional state presupposes both the freedom of the individual and a procedure that balances private and public autonomy. Compliance with norms requires individual application, with the specificity, effectiveness, and justifiability of the norm, as well as the individual's ability, being taken into account.
