A concept such as European society, which aims to foster a better sense of belonging, deserves support. But pushing things forward via legal engineering may cause questionable shifts. This contribution contrasts previous historical episodes of collective singularism with the latest efforts to judge and write the EU into a new era of constitutionalism. In particular, I show that they reach a natural limit: primary law’s other basic norms.
