Summary/Abstract: In a democratic society, the judicial legitimacy of the state and its power, of its institutions, but also the social and political grounds are generated anddetermined by the Constitution, defined as expressively as possible as being: “The fundamental political and judicial settlement of a people” (I. Deleanu)The supremacy of the Constitution has as main effect the conformity of the entire system of law withthe constitutional norms. Guaranteeing the compliance with this principle, essential for the state of law, is first of all an attribution of the Constitutional Court, but also an obligation of the legislative power to receive, through the adopted normative acts, in content and in form, the constitutional norms.
