Introduction The Constitution is a normative act of utmost significance for the system of government; it formulates the basics for the state and law; it is a foun- dation of individual liberties and rights. Therefore, any amendments to its provisions should be subject to careful consideration; they should be introduced with restraint and prudence. In the debate on the need to change the Constitution it is worth listening also to representatives of the academic community who are involved in constitutional research and have expert knowledge in this respect. A form of statement which al- lows for gathering and systematizing doctrinal positions and favours their clear presentation is a legal survey, which has a long and well established history in the Polish academic and political tradition.1 1 A model example of this type of project is the constitutional survey concerning the Constitution of 17 March 1921 carried out at the initiative of “Czasopisma Prawnicze i Ekonomiczne,” the re- sults of which were published in the brochure entitled Ankieta o konstytucji z 17 marca 1921 r., red. W.L. Jaworski, Kraków 1924 (reprint of the 1924 edition was published by Wydawnictwo Sejmowe, Warsaw 2014). In the interwar period also political surveys were organized, e.g. the survey of the Non-Partisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government (BBWR) in 1928 or the constitutional survey organized under the patronage of the Marshal of the Sejm in 1931. Under the 1997 Constitution so far two surveys have been organized. The first one, in 2011, was carried out by the Institute of Public Affairs in Warsaw, while the other was organized by the Law and Justice party in 2018. Piotr Radziewicz There were several reasons justifying the timing of the survey in 2017. Firstly, the round anniversary of the coming into force of the 1997 Consti- tution2 induced recapitulations and reflections. The celebrations of the -an niversary were accompanied by a quite unexpectedly animated discussion in the course of which doubts were raised as to the topicality and merits of some constitutional solutions, while the political parties represented in the parliament and the incumbent President of the Republic of Poland even put forward postulates of concrete legislative amendments to the ba- sic law. All that had become a background for questionnaire surveys. Sec- ondly, within their own group, the originators of the survey shared a con- viction that representatives of science should once and again, in an orderly and comprehensive manner, diagnose the condition of the constitutional law and take a stance in this respect. Therefore, it seemed desirable to have the constitutionalists comment on how they assess the current Constitu- tion and whether they perceive any need for its modification, and if so, in what direction and to what extent. Thirdly, notwithstanding the social and political condition of the latter half of 2017, when one could already have an established view as to the bases and consequences of chang- es in the organization and procedures of the Constitutional Tribunal, and the transformations of the system of common courts and the Supreme Court gained momentum, facing the challenge of preparing a constitu- tional survey was also of importance for the development of the science of Polish constitutional law. Questionnaire interviews were so conceived so as to – on one hand – meet the criteria of scientific research, i.e. provide reliable and consistent results which could be subject to subsequent stud- ies and analyses, and on the other to remain free from party affiliations and political goals. Such a methodological approach and its anticipated results were a novelty in Polish legal literature of recent years. 2. Respondent selection criteria The group of respondents included a large group of constitutional law- yers institutionally involved in their field of interest.
