Final review. The Constitution – the fundamental law of the state
The Constitution is the state’s fundamental law; all other laws must not contradict it. Constitutional law is the branch of law that regulates the state’s structure, the bodies of power and the foundations of human and citizens’ rights; in this sense it is the basis for other branches. In the course we saw that the state is sovereign, democratic, legal, social and secular; power is divided into legislative, executive and judicial branches. The President is head of state, the Oliy Majlis has two chambers, the Cabinet of Ministers directs execution, courts are independent, and there are local government and mahalla self-government. Rights and freedoms come with duties, and elections express the will of the people. Legal culture means knowing, respecting and applying the law. The Constitution was adopted in a new version in 2023; keep reading the current text on lex.uz.
