Summary/Abstract: In contemporary constitutionalism, a tendency has emerged that shares the view that the Constitution in force must be closely related to the political and social life of the people. Constitutional rules are created so that they can be successfully implemented for as long as possible - this is the ambition of the constitutional legislator. But the Constitution is not eternal - as it is applied longer, the question of its reformation is periodically raised. Reforming the constitution is done by the means and mechanisms that are enshrined in the Basic law itself. The revision of the Constitution is the main way of this reformation. Four amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria have been adopted in connection with its membership of the EU. The trend that is being observed is that reforming the Constitution will not stop as a process. The subject of this paper is precisely the unfulfilled attempts to revise the Constitution made in the recent constitutional history of Bulgaria.
