Abstract
In this article a part of resu Its of more comprehensive research entitled »Croatian working
class and social justice« have been presented. There have been compared answers the
workers with land property (peasant-workers) and those without it gave to questions how
important do they consider and to what extent do they find realised »the highest constitutional
order values of the Republic of Croatia« (article 3 of the Republic of Croatia Constitution),
The resuIts show that both groups of workers gave similar answers, but at peasant-workers
there is alittle »systern rnove« towards slightly weaker acceptance of constitutional values,
as well as a slight »systern move« towards higher estimation of realisation of these values.
In the article some possible explanations of the resu Its obtained have been suggested, but
the author in the first place points out the need for further researches for which the key
concepts like peasant-workers, dual income source and others, should be re-defined.
Otherwise, according to gained resuIts, both peasant-workers and workers without land
property are relatively most content with realisation of the following values: »equality of
rights of the nations«, »peace-making« and »freedom«, and they are the least content with
»respect of human rights«, »rule of justice« and »social justice«. Possible interpretation of
these resu Its has also been offered in the article.
