Konstytucyjność prawa jako podstawa demokratycznej kultury prawnej
The constitutionality of law as the basis of democratic legal culture
The notion of the constitutionalisation of law is the basis
of analysis in modern democratic legal systems. The constitution
influences the application of law and the constitutional method is
the main approach that describes this process. The constitutionalisation
of law should be understood in a broader sense as aspect
of legal culture created in the process of interpretation of law
reflected by the idea of constitution. The judicial review made
by constitutional courts as in Kelsen’s conception or by common
courts as in American model must be guided by the idea of maximalisation
of human rights support as the element of democratic
legal culture. This conception is compatible with the knowledge
about constitutional norms and the way they are applied.
