Exercising the Right to Petition by Commune Residents Against the Background of Constitutional Regulations
The right to petition regulated in Article 63 of the Constitution is qualified as a political right. It may complement entirely different rights through which citizens may exert influence on public authorities. For this right to be exercised the mode of examining petitions had to me specified. The legislator did so by passing the Petitions Act. In turn, regulations introduced to the Commune Self-Government Act that established a Commission for Complaints, Requests and Petitions were to serve as a measure for residents of basic local government units to exercise this right. This study aims to assess the adopted legal regulations from the point of view of their influence on the efficiency of implementation of the right to petition by members of a commune self-governing community. It will point to organizational and procedural measures which when employed may be a source of real problems.
