ABSTRACT
In the democratic and
constitutional system the power of the word of the law originates from people’s
sovereignty. The legal paper, based
on a democratic mandate, must be clearly understandable by the addressee. When the virtuous
communicative process breaks
up, the democratic process, that is, its same foundation, comes to an end. The legislative Italian
texts are mainly incomprehensible and contorted. The bad quality of legislation, deriving from many
social and cultural factors, has provoked a crisis in the relation between
institutions and citizens and bad consequences on the efficiency of the
administrative apparatus and the economic life of the country. On the contrary, the
language of the Italian Constitution of 1948 was clear and comprehensible,
correct and simple, document of a democratic instrument. A real democratic participation requires a good writing
of the laws in order to recover the way of democracy and civilization.
