The Extent of Compatibility Between Constitutional Rules and the General Principles of the Constitution

Abstract

This study analyzes the compatibility of rules of constitutional law with fundamental principles of the constitution and considers "the constitution" as a root source of all laws in the legal system.  It is also highlighted that principles such as the rule of law, separation of powers and the safeguarding of rights and freedoms are an integral part of the constitutional system. The legal vehicle though which these principles are reduced to obligatory norms is the constitutional norm.  The research points out that the agreement between norms in the constitution and rules written by legislation make for legal balance and help to prevent misuse of authority.  This compatibility reinforces independence of the judiciary and ensures respect for fundamental rights, On the other hand, examples of incompatibilities statutes and/or administrative decisions that disregard constitutional principles. Such conflicts can have constitutional.
