Avast majority of democratic constitutions provide for a unipersonal head of state
in modern political systems. There are only four democratic states with a collegial
head of state in their political system. In the opinion of the article’s author, this form of
the principal state organ is determined by historical factors and/or the federal character
of the state. The author also points to the fact that this form of state leadership is present in the political systems of autocratic states.
