Editorial

The current special issue of Právny obzor is devoted to the constitutional law. Constitutional law is the basis of the legal order of every state. With a high degree of abstraction, we are traditionally used to defining it as a set of written or unwritten norms of the highest legal force, which regulate two large areas of issues in the state: the organization of public powers and the protection of the fundamental rights. As the basis of the organization of the state, the constitutional law must be founded on some ideological grounds, it cannot be neutral in this way. That is why we sometimes come across the opinion that constitutional law is more philosophy than law, that it is very theoretical and difficult to apply in everyday life. A scholar of constitutional law knows that this is not the case. Yes, it is true that the ideological basis of the state is present in each Constitution. However, this truth does not change the fact that constitutional law is essentially a very practical discipline, even when it ostensibly deals with "philosophical" questions. Constitutional law is a practical science, and a good constitutional law expert must always be a practitioner at the same time.
Therefore, the ambition of this year's special issue of
Právny obzor
was to aim at specific constitutional law questions brought up by practical life in the present era. The authors intended to define the problems and challenges arising from these questions, based on well-founded and scientifically strong academic arguments, and at the same time in such a way that the formulated conclusions are of practical use.
The ambition of this issue was also to develop a scientific discussion with the participation of important personalities of the world's constitutional law science. The presence of authors from Central europe, to which Slovakia belongs, is important. But it is also essential that the voice of authors of important democratic states that are geographically more distant could be present as well. This composition made it possible to demonstrate the diversity of constitutional questions that resonate in different parts of Western Civilization, but also the diversity of views on certain issues. This is also the richness of the discussion that the current issue of
Právny obzor
offers.
