Summary/Abstract: While asking himself about the actual relevance of the principle of the division of power, the author was led to study the opposition between the conservatism of the great constitutions and critical theory. The latter questions whether the authors of the constitution are justified in insisting on this principle. An insight into contemporary critical literature and positive constitutional law makes it possible to conclude that the principle of the division of power — in spite of all possible objections to it — is still an active force of the contemporary bourgeois state.
