Legitymizacja autorytetu emigracji vs. autoryzacja legitymacji
The Legitimacy of Authority vs. Legitimation Authorization

Summary/Abstract: RESERACH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to present the conditions and course of presidential crises from the point of view of authorizing legalism and legalizing political leadership. An additional goal is to determine the scale of the impact that the so called The “Paris Agreement” of 1939. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The author also intends to confirm or question the hypothesis according to which in the authoritarian system of power it was not possible to legitimize the actual political authority and take this authority to the highest office in the state without authorization of political decisions on the part of the person actually exercising control over this office. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: In political science, the issue of the functioning of the authorities of the Republic of Poland after the German and Soviet aggression in September 1939 remains almost absent. The reasoning is based on the description of the ability to maintain the legal continuity of the government and the president after leaving the country. RESERACH RESULTS: It has been proven that the political activities under taken in 1939–1954, as well as the political behavior of the main actors, directly influenced the consolidation of the authoritarian order. Paradoxically, the more efforts were made to legitimize and sanction the position of people enjoying universal authority, the more it led to an authoritative interpretation of the legal foundations on which refugee legalism was based. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMENDATIONS: On this occasion, a research postulate should be formulated to investigate the impact of the dispute over the legitimacy of authority on the political capacity of the independence refugees. The implementation of this research postulate goes beyond the scope of this article.
