FUENTES DEL DERECHO EN LA CONSTITUCIÓN POLACA DE 1997

Abstract

According to the theory of law, the term sources of law, in a formal aspect, means all types of documents that contain general legal norms that regulate the behavior of the subjects addressed by those norms and others that authorize the operation of public agencies. In Poland, the sources of law are regulated in the third chapter of the Constitution. The universally binding sources of law in the Republic of Poland are the constitution, statutes, ratified international conventions and regulations. The Polish Constitution states that the sources of law in Poland are made up of two different groups, namely the universally binding law and the law which binds only the administrative bodies subordinate to the body that dictates these rules. This article addresses these sources of law by presenting cases, describing procedures and informing of the current debates about possible normative changes in this matter.
