Irish Philosophy29 Dec: the #Constitution of #Ireland came into force #OTD, approved by referendum (56.5%). Terms such as 'Taoiseach' & 'Tánaiste' were introduced.
The name of the State was Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland.
“The Irish were the true pioneers both in the development of religious constitutionalism and in symbolizing its project though appeals to human dignity” - Samuel Moyn (2015) "Christian Human Rights".
The 1937 #IrishConstitution incorporated thinking of its time on human dignity. It also (comparatively speaking) lacked the authoritarianism of contemporary constitutions.
As such, it is part of the history of the evolution of human rights.

SabrinaDent@Irishphilosophy The application of the framework was somewhat... lacking.. in the human dignity department.
