Summary/Abstract: The reviewed monograph presents in comparative terms the preambles of the current Constitutions. All the Constitutions of the Members States of the United Nations which contain preambles have been analyzed. The authors undertook the study both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Among the most important conclusions from this valuable work the following should be pointed out: the vast majority of current Constitutions contain a preamble; the newer the Constitution, the more likely it is to contain a preamble; preambles differ significantly in terms of length, content, and the language used. Some of the preambles of Constitutions have a normative value, while the others are merely declarations of moral and political value.
