Discusses Grundrechtsentfaltung im Gesetz (Development of Basic Rights within the Law) by Matthias Jestaedt (1999), which deals with the development & theories of basic rights, & takes a stand against the dismantling of concise boundaries & differentiations. In the center of his examination stands the increased prominence of basic rights, the principle of proportionality, & the method of weighing. Jestaedt presents a theory of law & uses a methodology that adequately captures the given object -- basic laws -- & provide a legally binding interpretation. The author contends that today the traditional concept of a source of law & a hierarchy of rights, as well as the idea of a sole original law-generating source are long outdated. E. Sanchez
