Europe after rejection of Constitutional Treaty for Europe

Summary/Abstract: European history has been in tension of the movement to the centralization and autonomization recently. The basic political principle of Europe lies in its segmentation to the particular countries. The principle of plural Europenism cannot be compatible with the effort of suppressing the diversity of traditions of countries on behalf of centrally governed all-European state law system. Therefore the treaty constituting the Constitutional Treaty for Europe is an unsuccessful attempt to constitute Europe as one, united country. It is high time for the EU countries to start realizing the general, prospective and, with the political principle, identical project of democratic European unity. The suggestion of the President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus can be challenging in this point because his idea is to establish the United European Nations and it stems out from Masaryk’s and Churchill’s ideas. It concerns the principle of equality between small and large democratic countries in Europe.
