Abstract
During the communist regime in Bulgaria, the process of legal socialization and moral education was neglected or subject to the principles of the totalitarian System. The basic reason for respecting the law in that period was fear of punishment. The big political changes which took place in Bulgaria during the last two years influenced the attitudes of adolescents toward the general principles of Law. The paper presents the results of a survey carried out just before the first free national elections in Bulgaria (June 1990). 250 adolescents (14-24 ans) were interviewed about the principles of the new legal System and about the activity of the new elected Parliament. The results show that fast political changes do not result in fast changes in the legal consciousness. If young people have very negative attitudes toward "socialist" law and reject the former law System they still have no clear idea about how the new law System could be changea in order to protect basic hum an rights.
