Constitutional Axiology and Party Autonomy
The Italian Constitution is based on strong values of personalism and solidarity. As
a matter of fact, autonomy, freedom and right of self-determination are not absolute
values, but values among other values. The contract, as source of rules governing economic
relations, should be subjected to a test of worthiness (meritevolezza) according to the
constitutional values where principle of party autonomy is combined with good faith
principle.
