The paper analyses works of an early period during which general views of S. Dnistriański concerning the formation and development of law and nation were shaped. These are the works created from 1897 to 1902. According to the author of the very article it is these works that contain the basis of a holistic general and theoretical conception of “social relations” that was later on presented by S. Dnistrianski in further texts: Ogólna nauka prawa i polityki (Загальна наука права і політики) (1923), Wizja teorii państwa i prawa (Погляд на теорії права тадержави) (1925), Społeczne formy prawa (Соціальні форми права) (1928) and others (1923),(1925), (1928).
