This paper is focused on the question what is a Constitution? We know it is the most important law of a traditionally meant by political common sense national legal system of course. Nevertheless, from the top or from the bottom (Grundnorm), National states meant constitutions vertically (Pitasi). It seems at first glance to be vertical in the best tradition, is the top, not the bottom. Nevertheless it might be a problem nowadays because some changes happened in terms of law globalization and horizontalization of constitutions on the planet and, here, we are going to analyze some of them.
