Abstract
The Article " Democratic state governed by the rule of law carved into sandstone" has a simple, but ambitious goal. It is a clarifying our thinking about the basic concepts of constitutional law and of constitutional theory.
Specifically, these particular terms of the substantive core of the Constitution or an unchangeable or "eternal" provisions and essential requirements for a democratic state governed by the rule of law. The Article refers to recent works of Czech constitutional theory.
According to the conclusions of the author, we could and should define several separate notions (categories), although in practice they can coincide and overlap. It also allows us to easily apply basic constitutional- theoretical postulates in practice.
