We find a bound for the length of a conjunction of some propositional formulas, for which every unsatisfiable formula contains an unsatisfiable subformula. In particular, this technique applies to formulas in conjunctive normal form with restrictions on the number of true literals within every elementary disjunction, as well as for 2-CNFs, for symmetric 3-CNFs, and for conjunctions of voting functions in three literals. A lower bound on the rank of some matrices is used in proofs.
