Ustavnost ustavnog zakona : Kada Ustavni sud treba da ceni ustavnost ustavnog zakona?

Abstract

У пракси некадашње Југославије, али и у Србији и након њеног ус- тавотворног осамостаљeња, често је прибегавано доношењу уставних закона. Ова врста општих аката доношена је по поступцима различите сложености, чиме је мењана њихова правна снага и тиме однос са важећим уставима, што је било узроковано различитим правним и, чешће, политичким мотивима. Та неуједначеност пратила је и однос уставног судства према овој врсти акта, које се, без ваљаног упоришта у јасним ставовима уставноправне науке, различито односило према питању оцене сагласности уставних закона са уставом.

The Constitutional Law represents a special sort of act which had different meanings in former socialist Yugoslavia. One of these is related to the FPRY’s Constitutional Law of 1953, which, being adopted under the procedure for the adoption and amendment of the constitution and regulating the particular constitutional materia, represented the constitution itself. Second type of constitutional laws, which is known both by the socialist constitutionalism and that established after the fall of socialism, in the first place by the Serbian Constitution of 1990 and followed later by the actual Constitution of 2006, are the implementing laws which are adopted, as the constitutional creators themselves regulate, under the different procedure from that designed for the constitutional amendment and which contents are defined by their aim, which is the implementation of the constitutional amendment. As for the nature of these acts, constitutional doctrine is unanimous – their legal force is of lesser value than the constitution. One open question is the relation of the constitutional court to the constitutional law. The Constitutional court refuses to establish its jurisdiction to revise the constitutionality of laws and other general acts over the constitutional law itself, basing this position on the fact that the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia does not explicitly acknowledge this jurisdiction.
