Produktbeschreibung
It is true that the issue of the nature of a constitutional court leads to the recognition that, like the god Janus, a constitutional court necessarily has a jurisdictional function, the protection of fundamental rights, and a political mission, the regulation of political powers by means of consultation.

Under these conditions, the question arises as to the contribution of such an institution to the establishment of the rule of law and the perpetuation of democratic values.
