A system of galactic constants is proposed. Due to the intention of basing it on stellar dynamics, the working hypothesis is the assumption that the Galaxy is in a steady state characterized with axial symmetry. Then, as easy to see, one reaches a system containing seven independent constants typical for the present assumption. The current knowledge concerning the amounts of these constants is discussed.
