Abstract

Le concept de norme est fondamental. Avec les notions d’espace, de population et de pouvoir, il contribue à la définition de l’état en tant qu’ordre juridique, du moins si l’on présume une certaine identité entre la norme et le droit (ou le devoir). Ainsi, d’un point de vue hiérarchique (vertical), tout ordre juridique peut être conçu comme un système de règles organisées sur différents niveaux.

Under Law 724/2008, in France constitutional review is both a priori and a posteriori, and thus takes place before and after the entry into force of legislation. Such a system brings constitutional review in France into line with most European legal systems. Arguably, however, procedural hurdles, such as the impossibility of commencing constitutional review proceedings ex officio, hamper effectiveness. Substantively, constitutional review takes priority over conventional review, but this approach raises issues of consistency between domestic rules, EU law and international law.
