Summary/Abstract: Stanisław Głąbiński – one of the more active politicians of the nationalist ideological formation – had a comprehensively prepared concept for the state’s political system already in the first years after the Polish Republic gained independence. During the legislative work of the Legislative Sejm (1919–1922), aimed at drafting and enacting the basic law, on 30 May 1919 he submitted his original draft constitution in the form of an emergency motion. Although the initiative was presented on behalf of the National Parliamentary Popular Union, it contained an interpretation of the personal views of its constructor. S. Głąbiński referred to the solutions contained in the draft concerning the fundamental principles of state construction with respect to the sovereignty of the nation, its representation and the separation of powers.
