    Przegląd Prawa Konstytucyjnego ---------ISSN 2082-1212--------- DOI 10.15804/ppk.2017.06.08 ---------Nr 6 (40)/2017--------- Paweł Kubacki1 The Scope of the Head of State’s Liability Based on the Example of the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Principality of Monaco Keywords: head of state; constitutional liability; Prince of Monaco; Prince of Liechtenstein Słowa kluczowe: głowa państwa, odpowiedzialność konstytucyjna, Książe Monako, Książe Lichtnsteinu Summary The subject of this article is the character and meaning of the head of state’s liability. The author notices that this institution is an important factor that determines the systemic and legal position of the supreme body in the country, and adopting different solutions in this matter may make the position of heads of state significantly different, even if they seem to have a similar character. This relation has been shown on the example of regu- lations of liability of the heads of state in Monaco and Liechtenstein. In both countries, there is an almost identical manner of appointing to the office of a head of state and the scope of their authorities. However, the matter of liability has been regulated in a com- pletely different way in these two countries.

An introduction to the comparative study of Constitutional preambles: Europe Constitucionalismo global. Uma introdução ao estudo comparativo dos preâmbulos constitucionais: Europa Arnaldo Sampaio de Moraes Godoy Centro Universitário de Brasília, Brasil [email protected] Abstract The paper approaches European constitutional preambles with the aim of unveiling several semblances and dissemblances among them. It upholds the argument that Constitutional preambles are legal texts that exist irrespective of actual political and economic conditions on a particular state. In the main, there are some common places in the context of its language structures, primarily as for the use of the Enlight- enment legacy, as well as History and an imbibed form of patriotism. Keywords: global constitutionalism, constitutional preambles, Europe. Resumo O ensaio trata dos preâmbulos das constituições europeias com o objetivo de des- cortinar semelhanças e dissemelhanças entre os vários textos. Sustenta o argumento de que preâmbulos constitucionais são textos jurídicos que existem não obstante a realidade política e econômica dos respectivos Estados. No núcleo, há nos preâmbu- los alguns lugares comuns, no contexto de suas estruturas linguísticas, especialmente quanto ao legado do iluminismo, bem como quanto ao uso da História, a par de uma intrínseca forma de patriotismo.

RESUMEN: Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio legal comparativo que investiga las normas de constitución en los países de la CEI, Europa y América sobre la formalización del principio de independencia de la justicia. Con respecto a este principio, se ha establecido la ausencia de certeza sustantiva. La consolidación constitucional fragmentaria en tales aspectos semánticos se observa como la independencia del poder judicial o los tribunales estatales, así como los tribunales de una entidad territorial autónoma en el estado, y se establece la formación del presupuesto del sistema judicial (Kirguistán) o el presupuesto del poder judicial.

ABSTRACT: This article presents the results of a comparative legal study investigating the norms of constitution in CIS countries, Europe and America about formalizing the principle of justice independence. With respect to this principle, the absence of substantive certainty has been established; fragmentary constitutional consolidation in such semantic aspects is observed as independence of the judiciary or state courts, as well as courts of an autonomous territorial entity in the state, and budget formation of the judicial system (Kyrgyzstan) or the budget of the judiciary is set up.

  • General Theory of Law
    TheLaw Rather Review Ambigous vol. Notion X, issue Of Justice 2, July Utilised-Decembre By The European 2020, pp. States 53 -76 53 GENERAL THEORY OF LAW The Rather Ambiguous Notion Of Justice Utilised By The European States Cătălin Constantinescu-Mărunțel Abstract Jus est ars boni et aequi. When one thinks about the social phenomenon we now call the justice system, one will probably remember instantaneously this phrase. However, the concept has known hundreds of interpretations, bases on a proportionally larger number of values. These values have varied from society to society, from one age to another. If one excepts that such notions are constantly evolving, while preserving a rather solid core, than, in this day and age, one would expect to receive a clearer definition for the idea of justice, at least from the study of the modern schools of legal thought. The aim of this paper is to find the possible meanings that justice receives in today's European legal systems. It has been structured in three parts, meant to highlight and than harmonise the main plans of this research. The first section is dedicated to finding the main understandings of the notion of justice, as they are presented in the manuals of legal doctrine. The second section seeks the meanings of the same concept in the constitutional documents of 48 countries, pointing out the emerging patterns. The third and last section analysis the possible meanings of the notion if justice in the findings of the first two sections. Keywords: justice, legal doctrine, constitutional law, legal philosophy. Introduction Contemporary European States have legal systems which are being guided, at least in theory, by a conglomerate of values.
