Aksjologia Konstytucji RP z 1997 roku. Perspektywa badacza myśli politycznej

By pointing to the two meanings of the term “constitutionalism”, the author attempts to derive axiological context from “political morality” which precedes the content of the basic law. He concludes that it can only be derived from this content determined, e.g., in specifi c historical, social, political circumstances. Presenting the two meanings of the term “homeland”, he also draws attention to the pressure intrinsic to the Constitution of the Republic of Poland in 1997, in which reference to a politically conceived homeland was associated with a dominant picture of the collectivity of individuals supposed to create a “political nation.” This causes disputes over the content of the common good, sometimes associated with the creation of conditions for the development of every citizen and, some other time, by conditioning it on the lawfulness of the activities of public authorities.
