Jean Bodin was a French jurist living in XVI century. He is especially known for his fragments on the concept of sovereignty. His concept of commonwealth-civitas concerns a civitas that has attained the status of sovereignty and that may rule over other civitas. The following paper shows the essence of Bodinian concept of civitas. However, commonwealth-civitas is not the only form that a civitas may adapt. It can be a non-sovereign entity. Moreover, a commonwealth can adapt a different form than a civitas, e.g. monarchy. Carl Schmitt, a XX century German jurist especially known for his political theories,is a well-known scholar in international law (or – law of nations). His great spatial order theory was developed by him during nazi rule in the German Reich. It describes a new political form of political entity, that according to C. Schmitt was to be developed because of further progress of technological measures. Great spatial order is a model, in which there is a one dominating centre (“Reich”, empire) and outlying areas (periphery), which are subordinate to the centre. Paper’s final part presents the similarities and differences between following concepts.}, title={Rzeczpospolita-civitas Jeana Bodina a porządek wielkoobszarowy Carla Schmitta : porównanie}, type={tekst}, doi={https://doi.org/10.34616/150812}, keywords={Carl Schmitt, Jean Bodin, great spatial order, commonwealth-civitas}, }
