I claim that in the past Polish Constitution has been commonly interpreted in libertarian terms. My research is focused mainly on meanings ascribed to main constitutional principles, such as freedom, equality and sovereignty of the Nation. The paper consists of five sections. In the first section, I discuss the idea of contemporary civic republicanism. In the next two parts, I introduce two alternative interpretations of Polish Constitution – the libertarian and the republican one. Then, I present two examples of application of the republican reading of Polish Constitution in practical context. In the last, concluding part, I raise a question about the status of the republican interpretation of the Constitution.}, doi = {}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/przeglad-konstytucyjny/artykul/a-republican-interpretation-of-the-polish-constitution} }
