Is it really necessary to create additional liberties? One may wonder whether in a legal system as sophisticated as ours the needs do not lay elsewhere. In addition, is it not dangerous to suggest the opposite and thus to favor a purely consumerist understanding of fundamental rights? There is room for doubt. One may also wonder what is the best vehicle for the recognition of new rights should they seem necessary. What is required here is fine tuning, experimentation and as little ideology as possible. Yet these are requirements that the procedure of constitutional revision does not accept easily. Under certain conditions, the law may offer some interesting advantages.
