AbstractWhat explains the adoption of the regime of cooperation between church and the state in the democratic constitutions of Spain and Poland, while Portugal maintained a regime of strict separation in the United States and French tradition? The explanation could be that a consensual constitution-making process resulted in a constitutional formula accommodating religion and guaranteeing religious freedoms. Alternatively, the constitutional regime of cooperation could result from the diffusion of international norms to national constitutions, in this case, the cosmopolitan law of the church. The article process-traces the constitution drafting processes and finds that the emergence of a constitutional consensus among secularist and constitutional drafters in Spain and Poland was based on the Vatican Council II doctrine and facilitated by the intervention of the Catholic hierarchies. In Portugal, the violent context of the revolution excluded the church, and the constitutional regime of strict separation between church and state was adopted.

Purpose: The article is devoted to the study of the constitutional experiment features in France and Spain. The author analyzes the regulations, including the constitutions and laws of both France and Spain. It also provides the analysis of constitutional regulation methods in these countries.
Methodology: The methodological basis of the study was the set of scientific knowledge leading methods. The methods of analysis and synthesis are widely used among general scientific ones, formal legal and comparative legal methods are among private scientific ones.
Result: The analysis of approaches to the formalization of the constitutional-legal experiment on the example of two European countries - France and Spain - showed the difference in corresponding models and levels. France developed the system of the state constitutional legal experiment regulation at the level of the Constitution and other legal acts (organic law, regulations, etc.), taking into account the corrective law-enforcement practice of constitutional control body - the Constitutional Council. The implementation of constitutional legal experiments in France was associated with the decentralization of power, the activities of public scientific and cultural institutions, criminal justice, social policy, etc.
Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students.
Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of Constitutional Experiment: Regulatory Approaches in France and Spain is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.

Full textAbstract:
Constitutional law and international law operate in simultaneous conjunction and reciprocal tension. Both fields seem to have overcome the great challenges of destruction and neglect in the course of the 20th century. Both after World War I and World War II the world experienced new waves of constitution making. In both cases the current German constitutions (the Weimar Constitution of 1919 and the Grundgesetz of 1949) were influential. Characteristic of constitution-making in this century, is the final victory of liberal constitutions based on the rule of law, the Rechtsstaat, fundamental rights, meaningful control of public powers and the establishment of constitutional courts. Following the destruction of World War II, the notion of the Sozialstaat emerged strongly in Germany. In contrast to the Constitution of the United States of America, the principle of the responsibility of the state for social justice has emerged in almost all new constitutions, including Russia, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Italy and Portugal. Where courts are given the mandate to interpret bills of rights, fundamental rights have been developed into foundation stones of the legal system. The presence in a Bill of Rights of restrictive clauses, is important for its analysis. Generally restrictive clauses in new constitutions try to limit the possibilities of restriction. The importance of constitutional rules establishing and legitimizing the political organs, must not be overlooked. Of particular importance is the degree of control over the head of state, a positive attitude among political actors towards the constitution and the protection of the interests of minorities in a democratic system. In the field of Public International Law much of Kant's ideal of an international confederation of peace has been realized. Since 1990 the United Nation's Security Council has shown the potential of becoming a directorate for the community ofnations. International law has also been instrumental in the worldwide recognition of human rights. Especially in Europe, Convention Law has had a strong impact. Furthermore, global and regional systems of regulation have tended to alter the legal attitude towards state sovereignty. It may be that the South African constitutional approach in terms of which international law is subject to constitutional and other national law, is not in line with international tendencies.

Abstract: In this paper we examine the appropriateness and significance of the law of exception in the Spanish constitutional order. For this, we have examined the models of Comparative Law that Spain has followed to restore its disturbed constitutional order. Basically, historically, concern arose at the time of North American and French Revolutions of how to incorporate into the Constitution the institutions related to their protection. British singularity was also manifested in the way of understanding and including specific protection for the defence of the Constitution and the law of exception, with institutions such as martial law or habeas corpus. The suspension of habeas corpus as an extraordinary instrument of protection of the state organization was considered in the American Constitution of 1787, and is thought of as a precedent of Article 55.1 of the current Spanish Constitution of 1978. During the period between 1812 and 1869, the law of exception contemplated in Spanish Historical Constitutions covers only the suspension of guarantees. The republican Constitution of 1931 conserved the outline of the Constitution of 1869, with certain relevant alterations. The most significant normative instruments of this legislation were the Law of Defence of the Republic and the Law of Public Order of 1933. After the publication of this last Law, it became the extraordinary norm that has most deeply and habitually been put into practice, since Spain has experienced practically a permanent situation of "constitutional abnormality". This highlights the fact that a Law of Public Order for the defence of the constitutional regime established by the Second Republic could be transferred in many of its precepts, with very similar contents to the Francoist Law of Public Order that was able to remain in force until much later, being finally repealed by the Organic Law of LO 1/1992, of Protection of Citizen Safety.

Full textAbstract:
The Spanish 1978 Constitution establishes a complex state. In constitutional terms, it is not defined as a federal state, but rather as a unitary state with significant scope for political decentralization. This complex constitutional arrangement is in response to both internal and cultural features, and to a search for greater administrative efficiency. The pluri-national character of the state is the subject of fierce debate in Spain, while the way in which certain minority nations (Catalonia and the Basque Country) are accommodated is a permanent source of friction. This paper seeks to provide an overview of this complex political/constitutional situation by analysing the historical, political and legal developments that have occurred during the last 40 years, with a focus on the last developments of the Catalan crisis. Although Spain is markedly asymmetric in political and identity terms, this asymmetry is not adequately reflected in Constitutional Law. In addition, the ongoing tension between unionism and separatism in some regions poses significant challenges to the Spanish constitutional system as a whole, in particular, through the pro-independence process in the autonomous region of Catalonia.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the content of the model of constitutional jurisdiction proposed by H. Kelsen, which at one time actually became the theoretical basis of the modern European system of constitutional justice. It is stated that the model formulated by a well-known Austrian law theorist not only envisaged instrumental-institutional proposals for the creation of a new public authority, but also embodied the definite concept of common sense of law defined by Kelsen, which was based on the ideas of a hierarchical legal system acts of the Constitution as the law of the highest legal force. It is substantiated that the model proposed by H. Kelsen substantially outstripped the existing legal reality and was used almost in its purest form by most European countries, and in particular was directly reflected in the domestic model of constitutional jurisdiction.
It is noted that, according to Kelsen's concept in a number of papers, in particular in the Judicial Review of Legislation: A Comparative Study of the Austrian and American Constitutions, the constitutionality of legislation can be ensured in two separate ways, both of which were enshrined in the Austrian Constitution of 1920: the responsibility of the body that issued the unconstitutional norm and the non-application of the unconstitutional norm. Non-application of a constitutional rule could be achieved by giving law enforcement authorities the power to review the constitutionality of a rule they must apply in a particular case and refuse to apply it in that particular case, if there is reason to consider such a rule unconstitutional. A similar mechanism has actually been introduced in the United States. The fact that a law enforcement authority recognizes a general rule as unconstitutional and does not apply it in a particular case meant that that authority was empowered to revoke the general rule for a particular case, and only for a specific case, since the general rule as such (normative act) remains applicable and may be applied in other specific cases. The disadvantage of this fuse is that different law enforcement agencies may have differing views on the constitutionality of a law, whereby one authority can apply it as it considers constitutional, while another authority will refuse to apply it because it will see signs of unconstitutionality. The lack of unanimity in deciding whether a law is constitutional, that is, whether a constitution is violated, carries great danger for the authority of the constitution.
In most European countries, it is stated that H. Kelsen's concept was used almost in its purest form, with one exception: the powers to directly protect constitutional rights and freedoms were given to a separate judicial authority. The extension of the appropriate model of judicial constitutional control and the formation of constitutional courts fell in the second half of the twentieth century, when the need to prevent the return of Nazism caused a qualitatively new level of attention to the phenomenon of constitutional justice. The formation of new post-war constitutional-democratic regimes in Germany, Italy, Austria, and later in Spain and Greece, provided for the creation of a mechanism by conferring on the constitutional courts powers to protect constitutional rights and freedoms from usurpation of public power.

The question of the relation between the aims of current federalism and welfare states has often been portrayed as the idea of two dynamics addressing divergent senses: while federalism would essentially imply centrifugal tendencies, the fulfilment of welfare state postulates would require certain social standardization processes. However, the viewpoint from which this work departs is the constitutional intertwining of both concepts: it sets out to analyze how the welfare state principle and the federal territorial structure are constitutionally interrelated. In particular, the aspect of welfare state that is tackled refers to its fulfilment on a nation-wide basis, which requires focusing on the mechanisms needed to generate certain levels of socio-economic standardization. The main theme of the dissertation is therefore the analysis of the structural elements that embody the territorial scope of solidarity within the context of two politically decentralized countries, Germany and Spain. The dissertation is structured into five chapters. Chapter One, after analysing how the concepts of “welfare state”, “federalism” and their “interrelations” are tackled and explained by the existing literature, outlines an analytical framework for the examination of the territorial translation of welfare state. Chapter Two addresses the constitutional articulation of the search of a basic equality on the whole territory from the perspective of the allocation of social competences – i.e. health care, social assistance and social security and education - both in Germany and in Spain. Chapter Three focuses on some of the “constitutional structures” that are in charge of guaranteeing the basic uniformity of living conditions throughout the territory of each country (e.g. Art. 72 of the German Basic Law and 149.1.1 of the Spanish Constitution). Chapter Four analyses certain mechanisms that articulate the financial territorial redistribution in each system. Chapter Five is devoted to analysing the EU as a new territorial stratum involved in the social sphere regulation interacting with the nationally based welfare state.

Full textAbstract:
Par « pluralisme démotique » nous proposons de désigner la coexistence de plusieurs peuples dans un système à plusieurs niveaux. Le pluralisme démotique s’inscrit à rebours de la conception moniste du peuple français majoritaire dans la doctrine française. L’ambition de cette thèse est de démontrer la coexistence de plusieurs peuples en droit constitutionnel français. À cette fin, le premier mouvement de la thèse explore d’autres manières de concevoir le peuple à travers une étude de systèmes à plusieurs niveaux de type fédéral (Inde,Allemagne, Etats-Unis, Suisse) et de type régional (Espagne, Royaume-Uni). Dans un second mouvement est proposée une théorie du pluralisme démotique multiniveaux. Cette contribution permet de rendre compte de la coexistence d’un peuple composite et de peuples composants dans un système à plusieurs niveaux. Le troisième mouvement de la thèse applique la grille théorique ainsi établie à deux systèmes juridiques en particulier : la France et l’Union européenneThe expression of « demotic pluralism » is used to designate the coexistence of different people in a multilevel system. Contrary to the traditional monist definition of the French people, this thesis aims to demonstrate the coexistence of several demoi in French constitutional law. In order to do so, the demonstration is structured into three parts. First, we explore the pluralist definition of demos in multilevel systems: the federal (India, Germany,United States, Switzerland) and the regional type (Spain, United Kingdom). Then, we submita theory of multilevel demotic pluralism, which allows to describe and analyse the coexistence of a compound people and component people in a multilevel system. Finally, we apply this theoretical framework to the French legal system and to the European Union

Esta tesis doctoral ostenta un doble motivo. Por un lado intenta comprender el porqué del surgimiento en España de una opinión pública que demanda revisar la forma de organizar la toma de decisiones colectivas. Y por otro lado tratar de otorgar una interpretación sistemática de aquello que se establece en la Carta Magna en relación con la representación política y la relación representativa. Para ello, lo primero que hemos realizado ha sido un análisis histórico-constitucional con el objetivo de comprender cuál había sido el origen de la representación política moderna en oposición a la medieval, qué características poseía, cómo se había ido desarrollando a lo largo del tiempo, qué modificaciones habían surgido desde su conceptualización inicial y de qué manera se había acabado implantando en España. Lo segundo ha sido determinar las teorías políticas alternativas a la hegemónica que han existido y realizar una defensa de la democracia representativa como la mejor forma de Estado posible hasta el momento. Y, por último, hemos tratado de realizar aquella interpretación constitucionalmente adecuada de la representación política y la relación representativa en la Carta Magna hispana de 1978, siendo algunos de nuestros objetivos principales el acabar determinando cuáles son las bases del sistema de representación política en España, qué teorías se asumen para construirlo constitucionalmente, sobre quién recae la relación representativa, cuál es la interpretación sistemática que nos permiten los diferentes artículos que desarrollan la democracia representativa y qué papel ha jugado en dicha construcción la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional. Acabando, en última instancia, por tratar de inferir algunas consecuencias prácticas de dicha interpretación constitucionalmente adecuada.Aquesta tesi doctoral té un doble motiu. D'una banda tracta de comprendre el perquè del sorgiment a Espanya d'una opinió pública que demana revisar la forma d'organitzar la presa de decisions col·lectives. I d'altra banda intenta atorgar una interpretació sistemàtica d'allò que s'estableix a la Carta Magna en relació a la representació política i la relació representativa. Per això, el primer que hem realitzat ha estat una anàlisi històrico-constitucional tractant de comprendre quin havia estat l'origen de la representació política moderna en oposició a la medieval, quines característiques posseïa, com s'havia anat desenvolupant al llarg del temps, què modificacions havien sorgit des de la seva conceptualització inicial i de quina manera s'havia acabat implantant a Espanya. El segon ha estat determinar les teories polítiques alternatives a l'hegemònica que han existit, realitzant desprès una defensa de la democràcia representativa com la millor forma d'Estat possible fins al moment. I, finalment, hem tractat de realitzar aquella interpretació constitucionalment adequada de la representació política i la relació representativa a la Carta Magna hispana de 1978, sent alguns dels nostres objectius principals el acabar determinant quines són les bases del sistema de representació política a Espanya, quines teories s'assumeixen per construir-ho constitucionalment, sobre qui recau la relació representativa, quina és la interpretació sistemàtica que ens permeten els diferents articles que desenvolupen la democràcia representativa i quin paper ha jugat en aquesta construcció la jurisprudència del Tribunal Constitucional. Acabant, en última instància, per tractar d'inferir algunes conseqüències pràctiques d'aquesta interpretació constitucionalment adequada.
This thesis has a double motivation. On the one hand, attempts to understand the reason for the emergence in Spain of a public opinion that demands to review the way that we organize the collective decision-making. On the other hand, tries to give a systematic interpretation of what is established in the Magna Carta related to political representation and representative relationship. For this, the first thing we have done is an historical-constitutional analysis trying to understand what had been the origin of modern political representation as opposed to medieval, what characteristics it possessed, how it had developed over time, what modifications had arisen since its initial conceptualization and how it had been implemented in Spain. The second thing that we have done is to determine the alternative political theories to the hegemonic one, and to make a defense of representative democracy as the best form of state nowadays. Finally, we have tried to make a sistematic and adequate interpretation of political representation and representative relationship in the Spanish Constitution of 1978. Some of our main objectives have been to determine what are the bases of the political representation system in Spain, what theories are taken to construct it constitutionally, on whom rests the representative relationship, which are the different articles that allows us to make this systematic interpretation and what role has played in such construction the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. In the end, we try to infer some practical consequences of such a constitutionally adequate interpretation.

The main objective is contrasting study of the lexicon of three constitutional texts of the history of Spain: the liberal Constitution of 1812, the Republican Constitution of 1931 and the current Constitution of 1978. Research is organised around two theoretical-methodological axes: the lexicometric analysis of the three constitutional texts and the semantic analysis of the lexical units to observe the diachronic change they may suffer. The textual description of the Constitutions are also included, their consideration as a specific genre within the legal discourse, and the correlation of lexicometric data with legal and historical studies. We are interested in the evolution, the variation, the appearance, the disappearance or the modification of the meaning of a thematic selection of frequent lexical units of the constitutional texts. It is therefore a quantitative and qualitative study, diachronic and comparative; a combination of variables that make it particularly innovative in the lexicometric field.

La tesis pretende conciliar dos realidades tradicionalmente alejadas entre sí como son la retribución mediante arancel de ciertos funcionarios públicos y el Derecho Tributario. Un alejamiento aparente ya que el arancel no pasa inadvertido para esta disciplina, como lo atestigua su encaje sistemático en la parafiscalidad, concepto que designa a aquellos ingresos que, a pesar de revestir naturaleza tributaria, no se someten al ordenamiento tributario. Siguiendo un criterio metodológico clásico, se sustenta la naturaleza tributaria parafiscal del arancel partiendo de los rasgos de su régimen jurídico. Como idea final se deduce la existencia de una prestación que requiere un profundo cambio en su estructura jurídica, sin perjuicio de las dificultades que ello entrañaría, dado que ello nos podría conducir a otro debate de honda repercusión política, social y económica como es el de la organización jurídica de los fedatarios públicos en España.
The thesis tries to provide a common study between two concepts traditionally opposed in its scientific treatment as the payment of certain civil servants -public notaries and Register Office- with 'arancel' -Spanish formal denomination- and the Spanish Tax Law. Despite it´s not ruled by tax laws, the 'arancel' shares the nature of taxes, according to Spanish Tax General Act. Initially we introduce its present structure and then afterwards we propose it as a tax
This figure requires a deep change in its legal structure. However, we are aware of finding serious difficulties in our proposal, because we are treating a matter which could imply discussing about another important question not only in legal points of view but also political, economic and social about the opportunity of modifying the regulation of civil servants who are entitled to give services of public faith in Spanish Law.

Full textAbstract:
During the Peninsular War (1808-1814) the Spanish launched an unprecedented guerrilla insurgency that undermined Napoleon’s grip on that state. The advent of this novel and illegal “system” of warfare ushered in an era of military studies on the use of unconventional strategies in military campaigns – and changed the modern rules of war. A generation later during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), Henry Halleck and Winfield Scott used the knowledge from the Peninsular War to implement an innovative “conciliatory” counterinsurgency program directed at the Mexican people – which set the U.S. doctrinal standard informing an international consensus on the proper conduct for occupation. The Spanish war against the French influenced both belligerents in Mexico: the Mexicans tried to mount a guerrilla war modeled along Spanish lines, and the Americans adapted their tactics, rules, and laws of war between 1808 to 1848 to avoid the disastrous imperial overreach exemplified by the French in Spain.Durante la Guerra de la Independencia (1808-1814), los españoles lanzaron una insurgencia guerrillera sin precedentes que socavó el control de Napoleón sobre ese estado. El advenimiento de este “sistema” de guerra novedoso e ilegal marcó el comienzo de una era de estudios militares sobre el uso de estrategias no convencionales en campañas militares, y cambió las reglas modernas de la guerra. Una generación más tarde, durante la Guerra México-Estadounidense (1846-1848), Henry Halleck y Winfield Scott utilizaron el conocimiento de la Guerra Peninsular para implementar un innovador programa de contrainsurgencia "conciliador" dirigido al pueblo mexicano, que estableció el estándar doctrinal de los Estados Unidos informando a un consenso internacional sobre la conducta adecuada para la ocupación. La guerra española contra los franceses influyó en ambos beligerantes en México: los mexicanos intentaron montar una guerra de guerrillas siguiendo el modelo español, y los estadounidenses adaptaron sus tácticas, reglas y leyes de guerra entre 1808 y 1848 para evitar la desastrosa extralimitación imperial ejemplificada por los franceses en españa.

The object of this research is the reconstruction of the existing legal response by European Union states to the phenomenon of immigration. It seeks to analyse the process of conferral of protection. One main dimension is selected and discussed: the case law of the national courts. The study focuses on the legal status of immigrants resulting from the intervention of these national courts. The research shows that although the courts have conferred an increasing protection on immigrants, this has not challenged the fundamental principle of the sovereignty of the states to decide, according to their discretionary prerogatives, which immigrants are allowed to enter and stay in their territories. Notwithstanding the differences in the general constitutional and legal structures, the research also shows that the courts of the three countries considered – France, Germany and Spain – have progressively moved towards converging solutions in protecting immigrants. The research contributes to a better understanding of the different legal orders analysed.

Full textAbstract:
Diplomová práce Analýza španělského modelu asymetrického regionalismu ~ 1 ~ Summary The masterʼs degree thesis "Spanish Model of Asymmetric Regionalism: An Analysis" deals with the concept of political-administrative division of a state, which has been typical of the Kingdom of Spain. The masterʼs degree thesis aims to profoundly analyze all the substantial aspects of this unique type of inner arrangement of a state, namely in broader (above all in legal, in historical and in political) relations. When elaborating on the topic I drew on Czech and English monographic literature (this applies both to the theoretical and to the historical part of the thesis) and on topical wordings of Spanish legal regulations; I also made use of various sources, as e.g. of professional articles online, of relevant judicial decisions, or of notes I made in Spain at lectures on Spanish constitutional law. The thesis consists of three chapters which are further divided into subchapters. In the initial theoretical chapter attention is paid to the typology of states according to their inner arrangement. The concepts such as confederation, federation, unitary state or regional state are explained here. The second chapter provides the overview of historical development of Spain (or, more exactly, of Iberian Peninsula) from the first...

Full textAbstract:
Virtually all constitutions codify amendment rules. But why? What are the uses and purposes of constitutional amendment rules? Amendment rules of course create a legal process for reformers to alter the constitution. But amendment rules serve important purposes even if the constitution is never amended at all because they have essential uses beyond the obvious one of textual alteration. Amendment rules have three categories of uses: formal, functional, and symbolic. Their formal uses include repairing imperfections, distinguishing constitutional from ordinary law, entrenching rules against easy repeal or revision, and establishing a predictable procedure for constitutional change. Their functional uses include checking the court, promoting democracy, heightening public awareness, pacifying change, and managing difference. Symbolically, amendment rules can be used to express constitutional values. This chapter explains all of these many uses of amendment rules and illustrates each of them with examples drawn from constitutions around the world. This chapter also interrogates the symbolic uses of amendment rules: How can we know whether the values expressed in constitutional amendment rules reflect authentic political commitments? This chapter explains with reference to the German Basic Law that it is possible to evaluate the authenticity of the values in amendment rules by investigating the design of amendment rules and their subsequent interpretation. This chapter considers constitutions from Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Central African Republic, Chad, China, Cuba, Ecuador, Germany, Kazakhstan, Kiribati, Saint Lucia, South Africa, Spain, the Russian Federation, the Soviet Union, Ukraine, the United States, and Yugoslavia.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines two related traditions of thought that reject the existence of an extra-legal constituent power or deprive it of one of its main features. The first of these traditions, the doctrine of the historical or internal constitution, presented a direct challenge to the theory of constituent power. In Spain, the main exponent of this doctrine during the 19th century was Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, who held that rather than the result of an act of will, constitutions emerged through long historical processes and could not be simply created and recreated. The second (and related) line of attack against the concept of constituent power during the 19th century came from the French and Spanish doctrinaires. The doctrinaires rejected the idea that the people (or any other individual or group) had a right to create new constitutional orders. For them, sovereign authority belonged to reason itself, not to the monarch or the community. The chapter examines the practical implications of these ideas by exploring the debates that took place during the adoption of the Spanish Constitution of 1845.

When the legislative has delimited rights and freedoms illegally, Constitutional Court should step in as an efficient assurance and this forcefulness is undoubtedly related to the structure of the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court's organization and election of the members of the Constitutional Court and status have a great importance for freedom of the Court. As a matter of fact, the only way to protect people’s fundamental rights and freedoms is possible with independent verdict. Judiciary which fulfills the function of judgment behalf of the nation and the judges who hold the judicial power, have an indispensable importance. The assurance of people’s right and freedoms could be provided only, when the court has accomplished their mission away from all kinds of pressure and influence. The freedom of judges also means their appointments, employee rights and working condition therefore; in first place, the organization of the Turkish Constitutional Court (General Assembly, Department, Division, Commission), then the election of members of the Turkish Constitutional Court and the status are compared with the regulation of Macedonia, Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Spain.

Full textAbstract:
The formalism in testamentary law is a result of the need to protect the freedom of testamentary disposition and the authenticity of the last will of the testator. Proposed formalities are supposed to serve multiple purposes in testamentary law: evidentiary, cautionary and protective. Having in mind the level of modern society development and technologies, as well as the new challenges we face with today (such as pandemics, natural disasters, etc.), the question arises: whether the prescribed formalities in testamentary disposition are justified in terms of purposes they are suposed to serve? Modern testamentary law is characterized by the trend of liberalization of testamentary forms, mitigation of formalities, abolition of certain obsolete forms of testament, but also introduction of new forms dictated by new social and economic, political circumstances and new requirements of legal trade mortis causa. The experience with the Covid pandemic confirmed the importance of these issues. The state of the pandemic indisputably restricts the freedom of testation in several directions: limited contacts prevent the presence of notaries or judges as representatives of public authorities as a mandatory element of form in public testamentary forms, and the possibility of their composition; it is impossible or difficult to ensure the presence of testamentary witnesses in allographic testament and thus difficult to implement the principle of unitu actu as a key feature of the testamentary form; finally, illiterate people and people with disabilities remain deprived of the opportunity to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed freedom of testing due to being unable to make an holographic legacy, as their sole option available within the extraordinary circumstances of a pandemic, due to above mentioned restrictions. As the basic purpose of the testamentary right is to enable a testamentarily capable person to manifest his last will in whatever circumstances he finds himself, extraordinary circumstances during a pandemic indisputably restrict the freedom of testing. The new pandemic circumstances have prompted the legal public to think in the following directions: whether there is a need to introduce new forms of testament during a pandemic (as was done in Spain, which regulated testament during a pandemic); should certain elements of the form of the will be modernized (e.g. allow the possibility of the participation of the witness of the will in the process of making the will online via audio-video link) ?; and finally, should the door be opened to the digitalization of the will and the possibility of compiling an electronic will and mark the beginning of a new era of testamentary law? These and related issues are the subject of analysis in this paper, and will be viewed through the prism of comparative legislation, with special emphasis on the legislation of the countries of the Roman legal tradition that precedes the form of bequest during a pandemic. In order to determine the guidelines for further development of testamentary law and its rationalization, the situation in common law countries will be pointed out, and some examples from their case law will be analyzed, considering that a significant step towards digitalization of testamentary law has already been made in these legal systems. Based on this comparative analysis, which implies the application of primarily comparative law and dogmatic methods, as well as axiological through a new approach to the testamentary form, we try to determine whether testamentary forms and formalities are harmonized with the needs of modern society, especially in pandemics. Finally, at the end of the paper, the author tries to give proposed solutions in the direction of reforming the testamentary formalities de lege ferenda, trying to establish a balance between legal certainty and freedom of testing.
