Summary: ¿What is the state of European democracy? This question that opens this paper tries to analyze the current state of democracy in the European Union and, as a last request, to participate in the development of a European constitutional culture. For this reason, it focuses on three juridical contributions to the theory of democracy: 1) the relationship between dignity and democracy and the consequent recognition of the fundamental character of political rights; 2) the identification and defense of a lowest common denominator of good democratic European customs and 3) the foundations that support or have to support the wish to build a more democratic Europe. This essay concludes with the analysis of three practical questions of democracy concerning the Public Law of the European Union: 1) the proposals of reform of the electoral systems of the European Union; 2) the defense and promotion of direct democracy in the Union and, finally, 3) the defense of the European Union�s force to integrate.
