Constitutional Law
The Constitution is not a text most people read until they need it. But it should be the other way around. It is the starting point of the relationship between the individual and the state. It shows what the state is allowed to do, what it is not allowed to do, what it must protect, and where the space for institutional arbitrariness ends.
For Avangarda, the Constitution is not only a legal document. It is a map of the limits of power. It contains rights that often seem abstract until they become personal: the right to dignity, equality, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, a fair trial, a healthy environment and protection from discrimination.
