Importance
As in most other communist countries, the constitution was based on the 1936 Soviet Constitution (also known as Stalin Constitution) and thus served mostly as a propaganda tool, failing to regulate the main source of power - the communist party (Polish United Workers' Party in the case of Poland). See also the statute of the Polish United Workers' Party.
