Constitutional law notes studocu

First element: Definition of the constitution: A constitution embodied rules concerning the distribution of power and the rights of the individuals as well as fundamental liberties

The point is that this way the liberties will not be breached by political organs

Article 34 of the constitution lists the areas in which the parliament can intervene

All the acts outside that list are beyond the competence of the parliament

Another way to limit the power of the parliament is the constitutional council which controls the constitutionality of the laws that are voted by the government

The Constitution of 1958 has the following structure: a preamble, title 1 about sovereignty, title 2 about the President, title 3 about the government and title 4 about the parliament

The order of the titles shows the distribution of power

In the constitution of the 4th republic the President was mentioned in the 5th title
