Constitutions of the CEE countries

A nation's Constitution is the most fundamental document upon which modern societies are based. Here representative members of a society set forth as clearly as possible the fundamental principles regulating the organs of government.

Critical to the welfare of all, the Constitution should protect the rights of the individual, while defining the powers necessary for the State to carry out its functions effectively.

By drafting legislation, the representatives of future generations apply these principles to an ever changing historical situation. In this way, as the Constitution of the United States of America proclaims, the first generation of a society can "secure the Blessings of Liberty" for themselves and their "Posterity".
