Rights and duties constitute the two sides of the same coin that supports the Constitutional State because it does not exist rights without duties or vice versa. It is not conceivable in a democratic regime based on the unilateral requirement of duties, the guarantee of rights without the fulfillment of duties because there is no legal or factual bases for such. It is verified that the subject concerning the fundamental duties is one of the most forgotten in the contemporaneous constitutionalism, consequently, it is investigated its importance for the integration of the fundamental law of human being, balancing human rights and duties, as an answer to the criticism about the quantitative discourse and about the fundamental rights efficacy crisis. The article aims to outline the main characteristics of the fundamental duties as an autonomous legal category, its range, interpretation and limits to, respecting the solidarity paradigm, verify the contribution of such rescue for the development of citizenship and democracy as well as to confer bigger efficacy to the fundamental rights.
