Democracy and the State of Law
Abstract
The paper aims to demonstrate the meaning of the notions of democracy and a state
of law in relation to the Constitution as the fundamental law. All these issues are related to
the contemporary social and political situation of Poland and the European
Union. It is observed that in the state of law, civic fredoms and rights are helpful in separating the public from the private. Democracy is the rule of the people who need to be
headed by a direct ruler. The notions of the ‘state of law’ and ‘democracy’ become mu-
tually related to the Constution, referred to as the fundamental law. The paper shows
the contemporary status of democracy, compared to the state of law, and it provokes
the question whether we should lay our own foundations of democracy which
wouldspond to our social and political reality.
