ABSTRACT
I want to make out the case for participation by citizens in a wide range of fundamental political, social and economic affairs; to argue that that case is embedded in the notion of citizenship (as an aspect of treating all human beings as being of the same intrinsic worth); and that, correspondingly, acceptance of this case should be reflected in the constitution itself. If the case is made out, then the constitutional implications are wide-ranging and present a challenge to almost every aspect of legal scholarship.
