Syria’s constitution from yesterday to tomorrow

The constitution has many definitions that differ from each other, according to the nature of the constitutional system and the country’s political and economic conditions.

In its definition of the constitution, jurisprudence is divided into two main criteria: the formal criterion and the objective criterion.

The formal criterion depends on the existence of a constitutional document that contains a set of rules and provisions without regard to their nature. As for the objective criterion, it depends on the content of the constitutional rules, whether they are written in the document or not. Take into account the content of the text, not its place.

The constitution is a set of written and unwritten rules that carry the principles and values ​​that organize society, and define the powers and limits of political authority, as well as regulating the authorities and their relations with each other, while preserving the rights and duties of individuals. The state and its government, who represents the strength of society, and any other document that contradicts the provisions contained therein is void.

The definition of the constitution in the general principles of constitutional law: a set of basic principles regulating the state’s authorities, outlining the rights of both the rulers and those who are governed therein, and establishing the main principles that regulate the relations between its various public authorities.
