Summary/Abstract: Constitutional model is a broad concept combining different political and legal aspects, among whichtwo main aspects (namely negative and positive ones) can be distinguished. The constitutional lawgiveravoids negative models, bearing in mind bad experiences of its own country and/or other countries,and at the same time willingly draws inspiration from positive model. It should be noted that,in this context, three models may be used, a systemic model which involves the reception of the entiretyof values and constitutional arrangements (both formal (in book), contained in the provisionsof law, and actual (in action), arising out of political practice), or institutional, referring to one ormore specifi ed institutions in the country, and political, which shows the standards of behavior inspecifi c situations of political life. The author characterizes each of these models using the examplesof system of government existing in constitutional modern states.
