The constitution replies on a model of structural, procedural and societal safeguarding so as to prevent comprehensible constitutional tampering that may render fundamental rights insecure and thus constitutional amendments do meet the requirements of the justice, equality, and human dignity.
1. Entrenchment Clauses: Some enlightenment to the above is that the constitution may contain provisions known as ‘eternity clauses’ that protect constitutions from alteration or repeal. For example, the basic law in Germany allows mostly justified prohibitions against changes to certain rights, tasks, and powers of the Federation and the Länder; against alterations in the principles of the division of powers between the Federation and the Länder; and against violation of human dignity.
2. Supermajority Requirements: Supermajority in the legislature means the decision enjoys the support of more than two thirds before changes are made. This rules out the possibility of a small majority to change basic rights at will.
3. Referendums: Assuming that some of the changes alter the basic rights of the citizens then those amendments must go to a referendum should pass through a test to enhance public acceptance.
4. Judicial Oversight: To be a guardian, the constitution court or supreme court may have the duty to look at the amendments proposed to the people in order to prevent the violation of the basic principles of the constitution.
5. Civic Engagement and Education: An educated and active populace is a good defense. Promoting constitutionalism helps citizens to develop the capacity to distinguish the violation of rights in order to prevent them.
6. Independent Institutions: Parliamentary and administrative ombudsmen, human rights commissions and independent free media can observe and prevent efforts that seek to erode those rights and hence enhance the constitution.
All these put together provide a strong basis for the defense of human rights from detractors on one aspect of liberal democracy.
