Abstract: The main premise of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is that B&H shall operate under the rule of law.Establishing the rule of law is not simply a process, it requires, alongside legal reforms, also socio-economic reforms.Establishing the rule of law also depends on establishing a rule of law culture.However, a constitution is a framework that shapes legal and political culture in a society.This is a two-way process where a culture also shapes how a constitution is implemented in practice.In this paper, the author analyses the role of the B&H Constitution in establishing the rule of law culture in B&H.In this context, the author analyses who influenced whom.Has the B&H Constitution shaped the legal and political culture in B&H or inherited legal and political culture in B&H has shaped the B&H Constitution?
