Abstract
Some basic ideas of the Refined Algebraic Quantization scheme are outlined at an intuitive level, using a class of simple models with a single wave equation as quantum constraint. In addition, hints are given how the scheme is applied to more sophisticated models, and it is tried to make transparent the general pattern characterizing this method.
