Summary/Abstract: In the literature on the subject of the safety of the State, we can find notions such as "the safety of the state" and "the national safety". Trying to compare the contents behind each of these phrases we can put the sign of equality between them. When we look at the subject closely we must admit that national safety (this of a nation) and state safety (this of a state) - are completely different forms of categories. From practical point of view, at the present stage of historical development (the time of national states), one can conventionally treat them as the same. Such practice is applied in Polish legal system, where the constitution says about the safety of the state (establishing up National Security Concuil). In relevance to the matter in hand this work treats "national security" as equal to "state security".
