Summary: The prospect of offering a positive solution to the right to self-determination and to regulate it constitutionally is an inevitable step in the convergence between the liberal democratic tradition and republican patriotism. As societies become increasingly democratic, and become more advanced in terms of material equality, the more national diversity is recognised and the closer we come to a republican and federal culture, given that we are allowing real nations to speak without internal or external discrimination or domination. A republican and federal interpretation of self-determination is necessary to succeed in reversing the treatment of national conflicts within liberal democracies. The time for unilateral decisions based on sovereignty is over, insofar as democratic constitutions include and regulate the multi-nation state and the federal principle, such as recognition and the means to agreement between nations based on equality, respectively.
