"Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar" - so lautet der legendäre und allgemein bekannte erste Artikel des deutschen Grundgesetzes. Doch wie geht es eigentlich weiter? Was steckt noch in diesem Werk, das unsere deutsche Verfassung bildet und somit unser tägliches Leben bestimmt? Eine Frage, die sicher nicht viele Bürger einfach so beantworten können, schließlich zählt das Grundgesetz nicht zur allgemeinen GuteNacht-Lektüre.

Rechtzeitig zum 70.
