Necessity of Protecting Religious Feelings under Criminal Law in a Democratic State
2021
Offending religious feelings, as referred to in Article 196 of the Polish Penal Code, was criminalized as follows: ‘Any person who offends the religious feelings of others by publicly insulting an object of religious worship or a place dedicated to the public celebration of religious rites shall be liable to a fine, restriction of freedom or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.’ This study highlights some doubts concerning the protection of freedom of conscience and religion using the example of the crime of offending religious feelings and attempts to prove the necessity of such protection in the Republic of Poland, a democratic state ruled by the law. The study first examines wh…
W sprawie zgodności z Konstytucją RP powoływania sędziów – członków Krajowej Rady Sądownictwa przez Sejm
2022
Przedmiotem niniejszego tekstu jest ustalenie, czy art. 9a ustawy o Krajowej Radzie Sądownictwa jest zgodny z Konstytucją RP. W celu udzielenia odpowiedzi na to pytanie przeanalizowano relacje, jakie powinny panować pomiędzy poszczególnymi władzami w systemie opartym o zasadę podziału władz. Następnie rozwiano wątpliwości co do tego, czy KRS jest organem występującym w pionie władzy sądowniczej. Ostatecznie stwierdzono, że w RP Sejm nie powinien mieć innych kompetencji kreacyjnych wobec organów władzy sądowniczej, niż tylko te, które wyraźnie przewiduje Konstytucja RP. W przeciwnym razie izba postawiona jest w pozycji nieuzasadnionej supremacji względem judykatywy, a władza sądownicza nie d…

Informal Constitutional Changes in Romania
2015
Constitutional change has been one of the most interesting debates in the recent constitutional law scholarship. A distinction has been drawn between formal and informal constitutional changes, by using as a criterion the compliance with the requirements of the constitutional text regarding constitutional change. Usually, informal constitutional change is determined by various factors, among which the lack of clarity or the extreme rigidity of the Constitution. Constitutional Courts are among the authorities who are frequently responsible of making informal constitutional changes. The present article comprises a brief introduction on the differences between formal and informal constitutiona…
Encyclopedia of the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy
2021
In 1830, Belgian Catholics and Liberals had together adopted a constitution that declared the separation of church and state. The constitutional efforts of the Catholics in Belgium, Ireland, and Poland helped convince Hugues Felicite Lamennais (1782-1854) to give up his traditionalist demands in favor of liberal and democratic ones, which he defended in the journal L’Avenir (1830/31). Lamennais can be credited with being the first theorist to draw up a body of principles justifying from a Christian perspective a constitutional order that includes basic liberal rights and the separation of church and state.
Overcoming married women’s incapacity under The Spanish Civil code
2018
La mujer ha sido marginada por el derecho civil español desde la redacción original del Código Civil de 1889, mediante sus diversas disposiciones discriminatorias, sustentadas en la protección de la mujer, equiparada con una persona incapacitada. El Código Civil español experimentó un largo y difícil recorrido, lleno de sucesivas reformas que contribuyeron a un ascenso satisfactorio de la mujer en el derecho civil. El presente artículo se enfoca en cuatro conceptos: la situación jurídica de la mujer en el siglo XIX, la igualdad de la mujer en la II República, el modelo franquista y la llegada de la democracia a España. Conjugados, todos los elementos son una herramienta para conocer en este…
Horizontal Cooperation in the Autonomous State: The Conference of Autonomous Presidents
2013
One of the most important constitutional problems in our country, and one that has not yet been solved, is precisely the territorial distribution and organisation of power. Our Constitution defined a State that could be territorially decentralised, leaving it to the Autonomy Statutes and other laws on development to give it its final shape. The State has now reached decentralisation levels that were unthinkable at the time when the Constitution was adopted. The Autonomous Communities have a consolidated institutional organisation, and they have undertaken numerous powers successfully. However, important deficiencies still exist in vertical cooperation relations—between the State and the Aut…
The Constitution of Latvia – A Bridge Between Traditions and Modernity
2019
The Latvian constitutional system is based on the principle of State continuity after the Soviet occupation, and this is reflected in the reinstatement of the 1922 Constitution (Satversme). Unlike other constitutions in the post-communist area, it is characterised as a laconic and predominantly procedural constitution. However, important amendments were introduced in 1996 and 1998, establishing the Constitutional Court and introducing a catalogue of fundamental rights. The constitutional culture has been influenced by German traditions in constitutional jurisprudence, and the adjudication of legislation on substantive grounds has been stringent. This is particularly evident in the annulment…
The Continuity of the Constitutions: The Examples of the Baltic States and Georgia
2016
In the paper I will analyze the renewal of the constitution in the Baltic States and Georgia after the collapse of the socialist system. The renewal of the old constitutions are infrequent events in the world. In the Baltic States and Georgia, the restoration of the old constitutions had symbolic and political importance, reinforcing the doctrine of state continuity and legitimizing the new constitutional order after the transformation. I also will analyze the legal force of the constitutions after the occupation of the Baltic States by the USSR. The constitutions were of particular importance for the national resistance movements, since the validity of the constitutions was grounds for exi…
