Primes¶
- Proportionality
- Proportionality is a fundamental legal and ethical principle requiring that the means deployed by an actor—whether state, corporation, regulator, or organization—must be commensurate with the legitimate aim pursued, as Alexy (2002) develops in his theory of constitutional rights as principles to be reconciled through proportionality.
This sourceFoundational treatment of constitutional rights as principles to be reconciled through proportionality; develops the principle that means must be commensurate with the legitimate aim pursued.
- Suitability asks, in Alexy's (2002) formulation of the rational-connection prong: do the chosen means causally advance the aim?
This sourceDevelops the rational-connection (suitability) prong as a low causal-relationship threshold: any plausible causal pathway from means to legitimate aim suffices.
- The final prong weighs the importance of the aim against the severity of infringed rights, the explicit balancing operation Alexy (2002) formalizes through the "Weight Formula" governing competing constitutional principles.
This sourceFormalizes the fourth-stage balancing operation through the "Weight Formula," in which competing constitutional principles are weighted by abstract importance and concrete intensity of interference.

Mechanisms¶
- Proportionality Balancing Record
- This is proportionality in the strict sense — the final balancing stage that asks whether the burden imposed is worth the benefit gained, after legitimacy and necessity are settled.
This sourcePresents proportionality in the strict sense as the balancing stage after suitability and necessity, weighing the burden on a right against the importance of the objective.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
