Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to present the functions of the Polish President in terms of political practice. The aim of the work, formulated in this way, goes beyond formal legal concepts and, at the same, time points to the practical dimensions of the functions performed by the head of state in the Polish political system. The basic research hypothesis is the assumption that the Polish President, by virtue of his prerogatives, has the opportunity to act as an active player on the Polish political scene.Discussions on the functions of the Head of State in relation to political practice began with the analysis of the position of the Polish President. This section describes the process of constitutional development of the Office. The President’s duties were then discussed, with particular reference to their practical dimension.The various strands of the study led to the conclusion that the position of the Polish President makes him an important political centre for the implementation of the current policies of the state.
