CONSTITUTIONAL JUSTICE IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA MACEDONIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT - LEGAL SYMPHONY OR LEGAL CACOPHONY?

Abstract

The constitutional justice is an exceptionally important category in every democratic legal
system. Through the capacity and the quality of protection of the constitutional justice, the state
is valued, among the other things, to which extend it respects the rule of the law, and how
committed it is to the realization of the European standards in the legal system. The supremacy
of the constitution, as well as the respect for the hierarchy of the legal acts, both domestic and
international, is a key precondition for the existence of the constitutional justice in the state. And
not by chance, the constitutional justice is one of the main ingredients in the rule of the law. By
limiting the legislative and the executive government, as Mauro Cappelletti would say, the
constitutional judiciary "puts the crown on the rule of law”. 2
