Sažetak

Democracy and constitutional state should understandably be reviewed in the context of a society’s progression in curbing the state. In any community the central issue is the relationship between the people as individuals and as members of a collective, since it is desirable for a collective to be a synergic sum of individuals. Thus it is prudent to search for a corellation between democracy and constitutional state. Democracy is an emanation of freedom, constitutions always a limitation. A state hems in a civil society; within it there is a network of the processes of structuring government from “above”, which is of particular interest in transitional countries that gave up on the ideologised inaugural effect in designing government and adopted “constitutional engineering”: power-sharing, popular sovereignty, representative parliamentarism, promotion of freedoms and basic rights of individuals and citizens. In this, it is imperative to make note of the necessity of structuring societies from “below” by means of the principle of local self-rule.
