Summary/Abstract: Both the Yugoslav constitutional norm and the professional writings on the subject distinguish the concepts of national defence and total national defence incompletely and without precision. The author wishes these terms to be defined so that their content and meaning might be more clearly distinguished. The first concept stresses the classical prerogatives of the state for the purposes of defence, while the second applies to the socializing and the class character of defence. The constitutional amendments should aim at distinguishing the content and use of these concepts with greater precision than is presently the case.
