Zusammenfassung:Militant democracy as it stands is not a general theory and practice of the protection of the constitution, but it can be perceived as a set of measures directed against radical emotionalism, a technique that may be relevant in all situations where emotionalism takes over the political process. Sajo considers militant democracy in a narrow, legalistic way as a set of bona fide preventive legal measures that place restrictions on rights and on the democratic process for the sake of democracy/constitutionalism.
