Constitutional Identity

Abstract

The author interprets the legal concept of constitutional
identity and its differences in comparison with the sociological
concept of the constitutional identity as national identity constructed
by the constitution. The author determines the nature of the
constitutional identity of the Republic of Croatia and suggests the
acceptance of constitutional review regarding material
constitutionality of the constitutional amendments as a necessary
condition for the protection of state sovereignty and for the active
participation in the constitutional pluralism of the European Union.
