Weighing is, therefore, necessary. That means that the distinctive trace is not the kind of obligation the conditional structure of the norm creates, absolute or relative, which will classify it into one normative species or another. It is the way the judges justify the application of the preliminary Norms 19 signification of a provision, whether up-front finalistic or behavioral, that enables the classification as this or that normative species. 54 On one hand, there are cases in which rules can be applied without their conditions being met.
When two principles collide, several situations may occur. 28 Chapter 2 The first one of them refers to the fact that realizing a goal set forth by a principle always leads to the realization of a goal specified by another. That occurs in the case of interdependent principles. For example, the principle of legal stability sets forth stability as the ideal state of affairs to be achieved, and the principle of the Rule of Law also raises stability as a goal to be pursued. In this case, the principles do not limit each other, but reinforce each other.
88 It is clear that any classification of normative species will be inappropriate unless it either provides minimally safe criteria to anticipate normative characteristics or lowers the argumentative burden on judges. A more attentive analysis of such distinctions between principles and rules shows that the criteria scholars use often manipulate elements that can only be assessed in concrete cases in order to interpret norms abstractly. In doing so, they elect abstract criteria of distinction that can not be – and often are not – confirmed in real application.
