Summary/Abstract: The adoption of the Constitution of 17 March 1921 marked the beginning of an important stage in the development of modern state control in Poland. The March Constitution contributed to the separation of state control as a new function of the state, entrusted to an independent body, organised in the form of an office with elements of collegiality, independent from the Council of Ministers, but closely linked to the Sejm and working mainly for its needs. The aim of this article is not only to analyse the provisions of the March Constitution relating directly to the legal and organisational status of the Supreme Chamber of Control but also to show the role it played in the process of shaping the model of contemporary state control under the Polish Constitution of 2 April 1997.
