Protecting Constitution in Vietnam

Abstract

In the history of the development of the state, the constitution is considered the fundamental law, expressing the will, power and common values of the people; protecting the constitution is protecting the political and legal foundation of the nation, protecting people's sovereignty, legal order and basic human rights. The protection of the constitution is carried out by many subjects, including state agencies, social organizations and people through the form of law enforcement and law enforcement supervision. This study addresses the issue of protecting the constitution; analyzes the content of law enforcement and law enforcement supervision as both a form of protecting the constitution and two factors directly affecting the protection of the constitution in Vietnam. Based on the theoretical framework established, the author surveyed the opinions of 360 people from 3 localities in 3 regions of Vietnam, including Lang Son province (North), Nghe An province (Central), An Giang province (South). The survey results show that the organization of law enforcement by local authorities is well implemented, but the people's supervision in the government's law enforcement is rated at a lower level. From the conclusion of this study, the author discusses policy issues to increase people's supervision in law enforcement, contributing to protecting the constitution of Vietnam in the new era.
