The author begins by presenting the meaning of the concepts of „legitimacy” and „legitimization” of power. The former means the authority of power, respect for it and its acceptance by citizens. The latter is the process aimed at justifying the legitimacy of power. One of the basic premises legitimizing the power of the state in the institutional (legal) terms is the idea of its division. This idea emerged during the English revolution (1640 –1660), giving rise to the relevant concepts and doctrines. These views were later developed, so that by the end of the eighteenth century the theory of separation of powers has been well established. Looking at this theory in the context of legitimizing the state power, we should fi rst point to its guarantee nature in relation to freedoms and rights of the individual. This character was already noticed by the pamphleteers of the English „Great Rebellion” and, then, by such great thinkers as John Locke, Charles de Montesquieu, the America’s Founding Fathers, the authors of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, and others. As a normal course of events, this legitimizing nature of the idea of separation of power was sometimes denied. The critics argued that this idea is not compatible with the ideas of sovereignty and democracy. The author polemicizes sharply against these views, claiming that the division of power can be safely classifi ed as rules of „constitutional natural law” or simply acquis constitutionnel, since it is considered a „universal basis for a constitutional democracy.”

In these times of walls and razor-wires, open borders appear to be more utopian than always. Nonetheless, philosophers like Joseph Carens and, similarly but earlier, Timothy King and James L. Hudson, famously argued that the major philosophical perspectives in the Western world—libertarian, egalitarian, and utilitarian—would support a right to freedom of international movement of people. What would be the relative default position from the standpoint of natural law theory? In this article, I present a general introduction on natural law theory and its role in and outside philosophy, before presenting claims specific to the migration debate. I then recall the defence of a right to free movement by two authors sympathetic to the natural-law tradition, Ann and Michael Dummett: a defence which is grounded in principles of fairness and reciprocity and develops elements belonging to international law. I also outline John Finnis’s more critical and nuanced position. Finnis is eager to legitimize state authority and the “special relations” binding fellow countrymen: however, I claim that the classic Thomist perspective in which he situates these claims ensure his respect of a right to international movement which could be characterized as a version of “open borders,” with some definitional restrictions and qualifications of this latter phrase. Finally, I deal with the theory of Alasdair MacIntyre. Trying to infer MacIntyre’s attitude toward migration from the classic but short article on patriotism, might turn out to be no less dif ficult than potentially misleading, especially if that article is not read in its details. Complementary elements are offered in MacIntyre’s account of natural law “as subversive.” On these grounds, I claim that, contrary to simplistic misreading of MacIntyre’s alleged “communitarianism,” MacIntyrean Aristotelian Thomism would endorse a theory of migration more compatible with reasonably conceived open borders. I conclude my chapter with a presentation of Aquinas’s concise intervention on the subject, and I show that it further supports my reading of the natural law tradition.

Celem pracy jest wskazanie powiązań i zależności istniejących pomiędzy ekonomią a prawem na przykładzie ekonomicznej analizy prawa konstytucyjnego. Autorka koncentruje się na kwestiach związanych z funkcjonowaniem i strukturą organów władzy państwowej w sensie ekonomicznym oraz bada również pod względem relacji ekonomia – prawo, ustrój kraju oraz prawa i wolności wynikające z konstytucji. Ponadto wyjaśnia, że nie bez znaczenia są związki istniejące pomiędzy określonymi regulacjami a rozwojem gospodarczym państwa i jego dynamiką. Ekonomiczne następstwa zjawisk prawnych stanowią bowiem odzwierciedlenie ustanowionych, a później stosowanych przez kompetentne organy państwowe przepisów prawa, które mają istotny wpływ na procesy gospodarcze. Prawo zatem traktowane jako dobro publiczne określa pozycję ekonomiczną danego państwa. Przyjęte metody badawcze obejmują komparatystyczną analizę tekstów podstawowych aktów prawnych z wykorzystaniem literatury przedmiotu.

The aim of this thesis is to point out connections and relationships existing between the economy and the law on the example of the economic analysis of the constitutional law. The author concentrates on issues connected with the functioning and the structure of state authorities within economic terms, and also examines regime of the country and the rights and freedoms arising from the Constitution within economics-law relationship.. Moreover, it is explained that the relationships between particular regulations and economic development of the state and its dynamics are not irrelevant. The economic consequences of legal phenomena reflect established provisions of law having significant impact on economic processes which are then applied by the competent public authorities. Therefore, the law treated as a public welfare determines the economic position of the country concerned. Research methods contain a comparative analysis of contents of fundamental legal acts together with the publications in this field.
