The Constitutional and Legal Basis of the Decision-Making Processes Applied by Public Administration Bodies in the Slovak Republic

Abstract

The subject-matter of the article is the identification and analysis of the constitutional foundations of the legal provisions regulating the administrative procedure of public administration bodies in the Slovak Republic and analysis of decisions made by the Slovak Constitutional Court and Supreme Court. The administrative procedure represents an immanent process in which state and public administration bodies make decisions on rights, legitimate interests as well as obligations and duties in the field of state and public administration. The author aims to identify the most important provisions of the Slovak Constitution and to demonstrate their significance for the decision-making activities of domestic public administration bodies and at the same time to find out if the constitutional and legal basis is sufficient enough to make amendments regarding the decision-making processes of Slovak public administration bodies. The author's research hypothesis, resting on an enquiry to identify if the constitutional amendment is satisfactory and acceptable, is followed by an investigation of mutual relations between the current state of our society and its conditions being in a state of its rapid development and the contents of the constitutional amendment. It is argued that the Constitution as the basic piece of legislation must be adopted with accepted text so that potential changes would not entail having to change the Constitution.
