Summary/Abstract: This text aims at presenting and analysing the role of the legal instrument of the objection of unconstitutionality, as well as the effects of this kind of legal control, both in the Romanian political system and legal system. Thus, the objection of unconstitutionality is expressly stipulated in the Constitution of Romania, article 146, letters a), b) and c), and in Law No. 47/1992, articles 15, 16, 17 and 18 concerning the organizing and functioning of the Constitutional Court. It represents a legal mechanism whose main aim is to ensure that the legal norms under scrutiny observe the provisions of the Romanian Constitution.
