Abstract

Objective: The relevance of the studied issue lies in that the concept of constitutionalization is increasingly utilized in legal terminology and the spheres of state and international law. However, researchers have not yet developed a unified approach to the concept, as each scholar proposes examining constitutionalization in the context of its impact on specific aspects of legal reality. The study thus aims to explore the effect of constitutionalization not only on the system of national law but also on the national legal system in the broad sense.

 

Methods: The research goal is achieved through an analysis of scientific literature, legal sources, and legislative documents. Comparative legal and system structural methods are used to understand the relationship between academic theories and the practical application of constitutionalization.

 

Results: The analysis shows that constitutionalization is a multifaceted process that assumes the integration of constitutional norms and principles into various aspects of legal systems. The study emphasizes the influence of constitutionalization on national legal systems, including such aspects as legal culture, judicial interpretation, and the conformity of legislation with constitutional values.

 

Conclusion: The concept of constitutionalization is concluded to play a decisive part in the development of modern legal science. The study stresses the importance of regulating legal norms in line with constitutional principles, both nationally and internationally, to ensure effective legal regulation.
