헌법교육을 통한 민주시민교육 활성화 방안- 대의민주주의를 중심으로 -

Since the Constitution is the Fundamental Law that forms the foundation and order of life of the nation, its members and community members, it goes beyond just acting as a basic law of the political realm, and at the same time, Function. Therefore, the Constitution not only plays a role as a legal fundamental order of the living world, but also the nation of the power world. This means that the 'Constitution' does not exist only as a type of code of constitutional law but as a living thing throughout society. It is also called the "era of the Constitution" in the sense that the significance of the Constitution is emphasized as a kind of mechanism to coordinate and integrate the various conflicts and confrontations of society in today's society. In the secular state where the separation principle of orthodoxy has been established, It is also called "secular religion", which enforces faith in all people because the constitution is the ultimate law and is the highest law and the constitution is the ultimate standard throughout the national government and public life. The core of democratic citizen education is political education and democratic citizen education is a constitutional education because the fundamental law of "political products with social consent" is constitutional. Constitutional education can be divided into three types according to the subject. First, it is the 'member' education of the Democratic Republic. The republic is different from the homeland that is given only when it is born differently. It is the Republic that formed through consensus on common values. Members of the Republic are given "responsibility" for virtue-based republication. Constitutional education for the formation and maintenance of virtue is the foundation of constitutional education and the most fundamental education. Second, we looked at constitutional education centering on education that elected the best representative. It would be a judgmental education for electing a better representative as a necessary education for the voters under the representative system. This can be called 'voter education'. Of course, future generations will also have a 'right to vote' after a certain age according to the Political Relations Act, so voter education should expand not only voters but also future generation voters. Third, it is a constitutional education necessary for the 'representative' who exercises sovereignty under the representative democracy by being granted justification for the sovereign power from the sovereign. This can be divided into constitutional education for prospective candidates, and constitutional education for public interest judgment after election to become 'good' representative.
