Abstract
With this article attempts a comparison of the Greek Constitution of 1975, the constitutions of
Germany, USA, Switzerland, Austria, France, UK and Italy on the issue of property relations and
general interest, in order to highlight those notified differences relating to these communities and
resulted in specific social situations. While the constitutions of the other countries, which are among
the most representative democracies of the Western world, are characterized by an increased
institutionalization of sociability, the Greek constitution on the issue of general interest takes an
antisocial and, at best, neutral attitude. The convergence of the Greek constitution on this issue with
the other constitutions is considered a prerequisite for overcoming the crisis and, more generally, for
social development. This little effort hopes to contribute to a more social future formulation of the
Greek constitution and a corresponding behaviour of Greek society.
