| Abstract: | The present paper aims to show that totalitarianism is a rational system binding population and leaders by stable long-lasting rules, which form written or unwritten constitution. This constitutional trait is a major difference between totalitarianism and tyranny, since the latter are characterized by the uncontrolled discretionary power of the tyrant. Finally, the neccesary elements of a totalitarian constitution are identified |
