Activation changes the character of social rights once the respective schemes are activated. Although provisions requiring some action by benefit recipients have been in place in most insurance-based benefit schemes, it seems fair to say that especially in countries with a job-related social protection tradition (the so-called Bismarckian type of social protection) they lay dormant before the shift towards activation occurred. This resulted not only in more precise and sometimes more restrictive conditions under which benefit could be claimed, but also in a more consistent implementation of these provisions. 

Where it exists, constitutional law governs the whole national law system but international and supranational law may receive primacy (see Introduction). In all the countries compared, social rights are constitutionally recognised but not designed as individual entitlements. The constitutions set only programmatic guidelines that judges have to concretise and substantiate by case law.
