The paper is devoted to a discussion of general properties of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. First we propose a general method of a recursive construction of the CKM matrix for any number of generations. This allows to set up a parameterization with desired properties. As an application we generalize the Wolfenstein parameterization to the case of 4 generations and obtain restrictions on the CKM suppression of the fourth generation. Motivated by the rephasing invariance of the CKM observables we next consider the general phase invariant monomials built out of the CKM matrix elements and their conjugates. We show, that there exist 30 fundamental phase invariant monomials and 18 of them are a product of 4 CKM matrix elements and 12 are a product of 6 CKM matrix elements. In the Main Theorem we show that all rephasing invariant monomials can be expressed as a product of at most 5 factors: 4 of them are fundamental phase invariant monomials and the fifth factor consists of powers of squares of absolute values of the CKM matrix elements.
