Summary/Abstract: In the text, the author points to a strong connection between constitutionalism and the rule of law, proving that the legitimacy of the constitutional state weakens if there is a passive compromiser and contortionist attitude in society towards the realization of constitutional values ​​and permanent mistrust towards the constitutionally patriotic orientation of civil society institutions. The author's point of view is that such a state of affairs greatly affects the credibility and legitimacy of any manager who does not see that Croatia truly becomes part of the Western civilization area only under the assumption of consistent and unquestionable affirmation of the idea and practice of democratic constitutionalism and the corresponding type of constitutional state as a credible and strong "cultural achievement".
