Summary/Abstract: The rule of law is at the center of contemporary constitutionalism. It means the binding and exclusive application of law by the institutions endowed with public power. These processes, acts, omissions and also factual processes, must comply with the law. There must be no lawless spaces. Political and legislative discretion is also not free of law. The choice of means, the timing of their use and their content are genuine tasks of politics, but their use, in whatever variant, must not contradict the law.
