Abstract
This essay addresses the dilemma of protecting the freedom of association,
whilst limiting it, in sake of other fundamental democratic values.
On one hand, the derivation of freedom of association may have significant
consequences on the democratic order. On the other, if unrestricted, an
association could cause serious damage to the liberties of others and
ultimately overthrow the democratic order.
In comparison to eachother, Germany and Sweden have two very different
solutions to the problem. The purpose of this essay was to find out what

This essay addresses the dilemma of protecting the freedom of association,
whilst limiting it, in sake of other fundamental democratic values.
On one hand, the derivation of freedom of association may have significant
consequences on the democratic order. On the other, if unrestricted, an
association could cause serious damage to the liberties of others and
ultimately overthrow the democratic order.
In comparison to eachother, Germany and Sweden have two very different
solutions to the problem. The purpose of this essay was to find out what
kind of restrictions the countries have, and why they differ.
Sweden has a constitutional opportunity to limit the freedom of association,
however only one ban against association that seek to take power from the
government. The German legal system separates a non-profitable
organisation from a political party. If found unconstitutional, both types of
association are banned.
A ban on associations such as politcal parties is a democratic paradox. By
limiting one freedom, the legislator tries to ensure another. Germany, which
has a differing history with democracy than Sweden, chooses to derive the
freedom of association in favor of democractic order. Swedish legal
tradition shields the political rights and therefore the freedom of association
is nearly unrestricted. (Less)
