Abstract
In this article, the author considers constitutionalism as an ideology that propagates the values of the sovereignty of the people and the rule of human rights. From this point of view, he enumerates deviations from constitutionalism in the legal consciousness in the context of a positivist and a sociological approach, in the legal policy of the state (both law-making and law-enforcing). The entire academic community and policy-makers can be divided into those who support this ideology and those who oppose it.
