Abstract

The problem of this research can be formulated through the following question: in the tensions of the political community, whatever the form of government, how to understand and deal with the tensions inherent in the democratic political regime? The hypothesis raised is that a reading of citizenship in the light of the principle of fraternity can foster popular participation in view of the common good. To verify the hypothesis, the first section will deal with the unpredictability of personal life and its reflection in the political community. The second section will bring an ethical dimension of human action from the Neoclassical Natural Law Theory. The third section, based on the previous ones, will present the concept of fraternal citizenship and its reverberation in democratic government. The research was developed using the hypothetical-deductive approach method, the comparative procedure, the indirect documentation technique, the bibliographic research: in books and legal journals; documentary; legislation and on electronic websites.
