| 释义 |
A legal constitution is a constitution where the judiciary form the greatest check upon the use of executive power. A legal constitution can be contrasted with a political constitution where political accountability is the greatest method of controlling government. In a legal constitution, methods of official review and the striking down of unconstitutional legislation may be used in order to control government power. A move from a political to a legal constitution has been noted in the United Kingdom after the passing of the Human Rights Act.[1] References1. ^10157_02_CH01.QXD {{DEFAULTSORT:Legal Constitution}} 1 : Political terminology |
