Summary/Abstract: The constitutions of modem states, international conventions on human rights and supra-national European community law in their essential documents are not based on the neutrality of values, but in their normative clauses they express basic inviolable values of a democratic society, following up especially on the basic human rights and freedoms. These values bear in themselves not only a certain social orientation, but they also fulfil significant social function by securing the continuity of the social development with regard to its values and thus represent the load-bearing con struction of the society.
