Abstract
The purpose of this article is to highlight an insurmountable contradiction in Ferrajoli’s positivist constitutionalism (constitucionalismo garantista). On the one hand, positivist constitutionalism is adamantly opposed to weighting, relying on simple subsumption and on the criterion of normative hierarchy for the resolution of conflicts of material validity; but, on the other hand, Ferrajoli’s conception requires a broad notion of normative validity, able to account for those normative conflicts in which several constitutional principles compete with each other when supporting the material validity of a certain norm.
