O prémio, porém, vai para a constituição da catolicíssima Irlanda, de 1937:
«In the name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred, We, the people of Éire, humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, (...)» (preâmbulo)###
A Irlanda possui uma das poucas constituições ocidentais com referências a Deus em normas substanciais (que não o preâmbulo):
Artigo 6.º:
«1) All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good.»
