Summary/Abstract: The system of constitutional principles became considerably complicated in 1997 when the ethical principles of social relations, such as common good, solidarity and subsidiarity were introduced to the text of the Constitution. The extension of the catalog of constitutional principles caused that the concept of political and socio-economic system ultimately ceased to be useful in the description of the system of constitutional principles. In order to present a coherent system of constitutional principles it is necessary to outline the new structure of constitutional norms based on the distinction of the most fundamental values of the political system. One of the five sets of principles is the system of social and ethical principles. It is based on the main idea of the principle of the righteous state based on a broad interpretation of social justice, and on the other hand on the whole system of new social principles, which include the principle of solidarity.
