GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

so that assaults on almost any individual article at once touches upon<br />

the principles of art. 20 of the Basic Law [the right to resist].” 255<br />

For this reason article 1 of the Basic Law is particularly protected by<br />

article 20, paragraph 4, as the right to resist encroachments of the state<br />

on human dignity. 256 Roman Herzog is not the only one holding the<br />

view that article 20, paragraph 4, is not just a clause protecting the constitution,<br />

but rather a fundamental right of each citizen to resist violations<br />

of human rights. 257<br />

This closes the circle of my argumentation, at the beginning of<br />

which I demonstrated that the right to doubt, to search for the truth, and<br />

to communicate the results of this activity is simply constitutional for<br />

being human, hence for human dignity as such. 258<br />

258 Although ordered well before the beginning of my trial, I obtained the dissertation by Peters<br />

quoted here, which relies on Roman Herzog as kind of a key witness, only half a year after the<br />

end of my trial, delayed mainly due to the extremely lengthy censorship of my judge, which in<br />

the months immediately prior to the start of my trial lasted almost two months. This restriction<br />

to my ability to mount a defense shall be compensated partially by this addendum. G.R., Mannheim,<br />
