Summary/Abstract: The legal framework of the constitutional revision in Chapter Nine of the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria refers to amendments and additions to the Constitution by the ordinary National Assembly. The act of amending or supplementing the Constitution is a law which must be passed by Parliament. In this case, however, the procedure for making constitutional amendments is quite different from the ordinary legislative process. The Constitution itself provides for a more complicated procedure which serves as a guarantee for the proper resolution of this important issue. The differences from the ordinary legislative process concern the subjects who have the right of initiative to introduce a bill to amend or supplement the Constitution, to the terms in which this bill must be considered by Parliament, the majority that must pass the law, the number of votes that must be held, and the promulgation of the law already adopted to amend the Constitution. A brief overview of precisely these differences will be provided in this submission.
