Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the concept of an imperative mandate in the Polish constitutional tradition. In the first part, the notion of an imperative mandate will be characterized in terms of basic criteria, which distinguish this mandate from a different type – a free mandate. In further parts the regulation of an imperative mandate in the Polish constitutionalism of the Noble Republic of Poland until the 20th century will be presented. In the context of the discussion a special emphasis will be placed on regulations of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Poland of 22 July 1952.
