In this work I have tried to indicate some of the possible interpretations of the term «dignity» as it appears in the Autonomous Statute of Catalonia. If, first of all, it is interpreted that in most of its appearances «dignity» makes reference to an universal value and equally distributed, then, not only there is an excessive use in the articulated one, but it is clearly superfluous and in this sense there is a deficient use of the legislative technique. If it were decided on one second interpretation («relative dignity»), would be two results: on the one hand a degree of remarkable indetermination in the determination of «the worthy» standards of life would be added and, on the other hand, it would be given rise to interpretations that reduce the expectations of extension of the rights that it tries to complement.
