A veces los derechos entran en conflicto, como cuando el derecho a la religión interfiere con el derecho a la igualdad. A menudo, la ley no prioriza los derechos, dejando que los jueces resuelvan los conflictos entre ellos basándose en sus propias intuiciones y creencias. Este artículo explora un nuevo principio para resolver estos casos: gobernar contra la parte que podría haber evitado el conflicto de derechos más fácilmente Este principio se basa en "evitar el menor costo", una teoría de la responsabilidad desarrollada por académicos en derecho y economía. El principal objetivo de este documento es adaptar la evasión de menores costos a las cuestiones de derechos. El objetivo secundario es demostrar el potencial de la economía en el derecho constitucional. La economía ha iluminado e influido en muchos campos legales. Para influir en el derecho constitucional, los economistas deben abordar las cuestiones de abogados y jueces, es decir, cuestiones sobre la doctrina constitucional. Este artículo presenta un modesto paso en esa dirección
