The Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997 begins with the preamble stating: „(…) We, the Polish Nation – all citizens of the Republic (...) Hereby establish this Constitution of the Republic of Poland (...)”. In the normative part of this Constitution, the legislator established the principle of the sovereignty of the nation which reads: “Supreme power in the Republic of Poland shall be vested in the Nation”. Considering the redaction of the preamble as indicating a legal definition of the ‚Polish Nation’, some formulate a thesis equating the notion of the ‚Nation’ with ‚all citizens’. This construction is characterised by the logical fallacy of assuming that the sovereign in the Republic are all citizens, regardless that who is a citizen is determined by positive law which is a product of the state. The state, however, remains a secondary entity to the sovereign who specifies the state’s law regime. The above leads to the conclusion of the need to undertake research into the definition of the sovereign, who is the fundamental element of this regime. For this purpose, the analysis of constitutionalism achievements was undertaken as a direct basis for the formation of the state regime of the latest incarnation of the state of the Polish Nation – the Third Republic.
