Abstract

The image of the constitution in the form of a book is common in works of art, easily recognizable, has deep historical traditions, rich religious and cultural context. In terms of the purposes of the Constitution, three main groups are identified: works that glorify the Constitution, relatively neutral works and works aimed at depicting the shortcomings of the constitutional order, the content of the Constitution or the insufficient implementation of its provisions (cartoons). In terms of reflecting legal ideas, cartoons are most informative.

Keywords
