Arsen Bačić ; Faculty of Law, University of Split, Split, Croatia

Abstract

For many pre-twentieth-century legal and political authors the crucial issue was to find the answers to the questions: Why one cannot support every claim to the right of absolute rule and, How to curtail power and authority anyway? In this text, the author reviews the contribution of three classics of the modern debate on constitutionalism – C. H. McIlwain, C. J. Friedrich, and F. A. Hayek – whose political/legal theories represent the most glorious pages of the contemporary theory of state and rights and the comparative political systems.
