The essence of the constitutional freedom of the person
Journal Title: Polish Law Review - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997, extensively endeavours to protect human freedom. It might be postulated that that a complicated protection of human freedom – freedom on both a personal and collective level – is a distinctive feature of the Polish, that is to say a republicanform of rule. The essence of human freedom lies within the realms of the notion of freedom of conscience.<br/><br/>Freedom of conscience is one of the fundamental values upon which the Polish as well as other European legal systems have been founded, the origins of which may be traced back as far as Ancient Greek philosophy (the Daimonion). However, the application of this concept into the systems of international and constitutional law only really began to take place after World War II, as areaction to the hideous practices of the totalitarian regimes of that period. In Poland, broad and far-reaching guarantees as regards the freedom of conscience were introduced in art. 53 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997.<br/><br/>
