field, acceptance <strong>of</strong> priority <strong>of</strong> freedom do not base <strong>on</strong> elim<strong>in</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>equalities <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
sense <strong>of</strong> provisi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> equal compet<strong>in</strong>g rights. The subject <strong>on</strong> which legal-adm<strong>in</strong>istrative<br />
arrangements orients toward will be <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> directi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> guarantee<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> equality <strong>in</strong> free<br />
compet<strong>in</strong>g c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
It is evident that <strong>the</strong>re are acute differentiati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> organizati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terest,<br />
equality, freedom, and rights between <strong>the</strong>se two state organizati<strong>on</strong>s; first is social state<br />
governed by law and <strong>the</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d is state <strong>of</strong> law. In <strong>the</strong> welfare state model as a practice<br />
type <strong>of</strong> social state governed by law which came <strong>in</strong>to agenda after 1940’s, freedoms are<br />
limited for <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imiz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>equalities <strong>in</strong> distributi<strong>on</strong> relati<strong>on</strong>s and free<br />
market c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s are arranged with<strong>in</strong> this frame. Need base approach which Rawls has<br />
arrived by tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>se organizati<strong>on</strong> stipulati<strong>on</strong>s a step fur<strong>the</strong>r can be evaluated as <strong>the</strong><br />
revisi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> welfare state practices. This type <strong>of</strong> revisi<strong>on</strong> carries <strong>the</strong> mean<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
priority <strong>of</strong> equal and <strong>in</strong>terest c<strong>on</strong>cepts aga<strong>in</strong>st freedom and right c<strong>on</strong>cepts com<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to<br />
agenda. In this c<strong>on</strong>text, welfare state will use its priorities for <strong>the</strong> most disadvantaged<br />
and will orient towards new organizati<strong>on</strong> and arrangement mechanisms. Form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
state as a resp<strong>on</strong>se to two liberal approaches which determ<strong>in</strong>e <strong>the</strong> priority <strong>of</strong> equality<br />
and liberty will ga<strong>in</strong> c<strong>on</strong>creteness by <strong>the</strong> arrangements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> laws and practices<br />
target<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> ec<strong>on</strong>omic, social and cultural fields with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> frame <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se laws.<br />
When this <strong>process</strong> is c<strong>on</strong>sidered from <strong>the</strong> viewpo<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> sample <strong>of</strong> Turkey, it can<br />
be seen that state, <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> C<strong>on</strong>stituti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Turkish Republic dated 1982, is def<strong>in</strong>ed as:<br />
“social state governed by <strong>the</strong> rule <strong>of</strong> law”. With<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tent <strong>of</strong> this def<strong>in</strong>iti<strong>on</strong>, it can be<br />
c<strong>on</strong>cluded that <strong>the</strong> duties <strong>of</strong> tak<strong>in</strong>g measures and mak<strong>in</strong>g attempts <strong>in</strong> subjects like<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividualistic and social rights, freedoms and balance <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terests, <strong>in</strong> order to provide<br />
equality, are given to <strong>the</strong> state. With<strong>in</strong> this frame, legal frame organized <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
realizati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> legal/political dimensi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> social <strong>justice</strong> formally and whatever <strong>the</strong>se<br />
practices are and how <strong>the</strong>y are realized carry great importance. In this sense, it is seen<br />
that <strong>the</strong> state is obliged to make arrangements al<strong>on</strong>g with its duty <strong>of</strong> provid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
equality (article 5).<br />
Even though pr<strong>in</strong>ciple <strong>of</strong> social state governed by law is determ<strong>in</strong>ed with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
c<strong>on</strong>tent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1982 C<strong>on</strong>stituti<strong>on</strong>, it is clear that c<strong>on</strong>flicts between <strong>the</strong> legal<br />
arrangements about <strong>the</strong> realizati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> this pr<strong>in</strong>ciple and <strong>the</strong> developments <strong>in</strong> ec<strong>on</strong>omic<br />
field occur. C<strong>on</strong>stituti<strong>on</strong> <strong>in</strong> act even though draws an abstract frame because <strong>of</strong> its<br />
properties <strong>of</strong> generalizati<strong>on</strong> and comprehensiveness it is also seen that it takes decisi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
for <strong>the</strong> behalf <strong>of</strong> public <strong>in</strong>terest, social <strong>in</strong>terest, <strong>justice</strong>, equality, rights and freedoms <strong>in</strong><br />
