The legacy of the Polish People's Republic in the doctrine and constitutional law in the first years of Poland's transformation

subject

description

The following paper is devoted to the analysis and evaluation of the selected issues concerning doctrine and constitutional law during the first years of the political transformation (until the entry into force of the so-called small constitution of 1992) in Poland. As it is well known, during the period of 1989-1992, political and legal transformations took place in our country, which are of symbolic meaning and closely related to the breakdown of the communism in Central and Eastern Europe. It is almost universally accepted that they are associated with the revolutionary systemic changes of the country, which were to negate the compromised political-legal tradition of the People's Republic of Poland. In fact, the continuity of the constitutional order established in 1952 was preserved, and thus the necessary comprehensive systemic and legal reforms of the country were abandoned. The compromise established at that time and sealed later was justified by the need to guarantee stability and legal security for the country and its citizens. In fact, the normative norms and jurisprudence practice in the period in question prevented the society and the government from separation from institutional relics and political connections of the communist origin.
