Великото народно събрание и процедурите за конституционна ревизия
The Grand National Assembly and the Constitutional Revision Procedures

Summary/Abstract: When examining the revision rules laid down in the 1991 Constitution, the existence of two different levels of constitutional law can be established: a level that can be amended by the National Assembly and a level that can be amended by the Grand National Assembly (GNA). The comparative law analysis of the procedures for making amendments to the Constitution shows that the mechanisms set up in Bulgaria have nothing exceptional therein. The Constitution of the year 1991, as well as a number of others, is characterised by the formal differentiation of constitutional law, i.e. there are several levels above the one which is normally perceived as ordinary legislation. The Bulgarian Constitution regulates several constitutional forms that are discernible by the mechanisms of their creation. In this context, the GNA is regarded in this article as a judicially established and restricted body for complete revision of the Constitution.
