Serbian term or phrase: Ustavotvorac
Najzad, unutar ovako postavljenog opšteg okvira, pred ustavotvorcem i zakonodavcem se nameće rešavanje još nekoliko povezanih pitanja:
Najpre, kako će tretirati odluke međunarodnih sudova (i kojih), a potom, kako će rešiti jedan od osnovnih preduslova za podizanje sudske prakse na određeni nivo obaveznosti, a to je njena dostupnost. Naime, ako se ustavotvorac odluči da sudsku praksu u određenom stepenu učini, ako ne direktnim izvorom prava, a ono makar sredstvom kojim se sudija mora rukovoditi u njegovom tumačenju i primeni, mora stvoriti preduslove da sudska praksa bude lako dostupna ne samo nosiocima pravosudnih funkcija, već i ostalim učesnicima u postupku

the Constitution


Explanation:

you can also simply stay close to the style of the ST ...

anyway "Ustavotvorac" is just a figure of speech - in places where for real ONE person makes the fundamental rules, there is no need for any "Constitution" ...

neutral  Vesna Maširević: Da.. ali ne vidim zašto bismo koristili termin "ustavotvorni organi" kad i na eng postoji odgovarajući termin za ustavotvorca

  -> Prilično sam siguran da je "ustavotvorac" ovdje sinegdoha jer u modernim društvima pojedinci obično ne kreiraju ustave sami. U svakom slučaju, ponuđeno je samo jedno od više mogućih rješenja.
