Habitualmente se viene atribuyendo a la República de Weimar y a la Constitución alemana de 11 de agosto de 1919 que la hizo posible, el importante logro de haber impulsado en Europa la emergencia histórica del Estado Social y Democrático de Derecho. Más precisamente se suele localizar de manera concreta su definición conceptual en la obra de Herman Heller que, consciente de la insostenible tensión que en los años veinte y treinta del pasado siglo oponía a las viejas doctrinas liberales con las nuevas propuestas socialistas y fascistas, señalaría como única alternativa capaz de conferir estabilidad a la vida social, la edificación de un Estado guiado en términos políticos por el postulado de la democracia y preocupado por dirigir su acción a la superación de las injusticias estructurales que en la vida social generaban las ideas de mercado y de libre competencia.
It is usually attributed to the Weimar Republic and the German Constitution (11 August 1919), the important achievement that Europe had driven the historical emergence of social and democratic state of law. More precisely, its conceptual definition it is usually located in a concrete way in the work of Herman Heller who, mindful of unsustainable tension in the twenties and thirties of the last century, opposed the old liberal doctrines with the new socialist and fascist proposals point out as only alternative capable of conferring stability to social life. The building of a state guided politically by the postulate of democracy and concerned about direct action to overcome structural injustices in society which generated the market ideas and free competition. While it is true that the great theoretical constructs of the authors of Weimar were linked to the prestige of a formula of political organization and administrative action that would achieve enormous success in achieving political stability in Western Europe. It would follow the Second World War, the fact remains that the true roots and family history of European political democracy are located at earlier historical time that has aroused little interest among scholars of constitutionalism. I refer to the Third. French Republic, a historical- constitutional experience that although it does not appear mentioned explicitly in any of the influential essays that helped foreshadow the lines of the Spanish constitutional democracy (for instance, in the precursor work of Elías Díaz Estado de Derecho y Sociedad Democrática or the famous book of Manuel García Pelayo Las tranformaciones del estado contemporameo), These are based on the direct precedents acted in settings weimariana democracy itself.
