UTICAJ USTAVA SAD-a NA RAZVOJ USTAVNOSTI U SVIJETU, OBLIKOVANJE MODERNE DEMOKRATIJE I RAZVOJ LJUDSKIH PRAVA I SLOBODA. (Croatian)

The Constitution of the United States represents the first modern, written, and democratic constitutional text that normatively puts an end to the arbitrary use of power. Brought more than two hundred years ago, it is still in use today. The Constitution of the United States greatly influenced not only the development of the constitutionality and political practice in the world, but also the political and legal theory in general. This Constitution also became a source of ideas and inspiration for many constitutions in the world for the past two centuries, just as it was inspired by the great ideas of 17th and 18th century (national sovereignty, separation of powers, etc.). Solutions contained therein caused strong influence on the development of democracy, concept of human rights and freedoms in the world. The basic method used in writing of this paper was the historical method. During the research the comparative method was used, as well as the application of sociological method, which was also very important. In this way, conclusions and results reached prove that the durability of the constitutional system would not have been possible without certain economic conditions already set in place. All constitutions during the past two centuries were written with the intent to be long-living, but most of them did not last long, simply because they did not coincide with concrete social development.

Ustav SAD-a predstavlja prvi moderni, pisani, demokratski ustavni tekst koji normativno stavlja tačku na arbitrarno korištenje vlasti. Donijet prije više od dvjesto godina i danas je na snazi. Ustav SAD-a je ostvario veliki uticaj na razvoj ustavnosti u svijetu i političku praksu, ali i na pravnu i političku teoriju uopće. U cjelini, ovaj Ustav je postao izvor ideje i inspiracija za mnoge ustave u svijetu u protekla dva stoljeća, kao što se i on sam inspirisao velikim idejama XVII. i XVIII. stoljeća (narodna suverenost, podjela vlasti i dr.). Rješenja sadržana u ovom Ustavu ostvarila su snažan uticaj na razvoj demokratije, koncepcije ljudskih prava i sloboda u svijetu. Osnovna metoda koja je korištena prilikom pisanja rada je historijska metoda. Pri izučavanju je bila neophodna i komparativna metoda. Vrlo značajna je i primjena sociološke metode. Na taj način se i došlo do rezultata i zaključaka da trajnost ustavnog sistema ne bi bila realno moguća bez određenih ekonomskih uslova. Svi ustavi tokom protekla dva stoljeća pisani su u namjeri da budu dugovječni, ali najveći broj njih nisu se dugo održali, prosto zato što nisu koincidirali sa konkretnim društvenim razvojem.
