| Summary: | Constitutionalism, as a politico-juridical phenomenon, is defi ned through the following principles: practicing national sovereignty by intermediary representative organs created on the basis of universal vote, the power of law, and segregation of powers. Constitutionalism reflected in the country’s constitution has to determine exactly the public functions which should be disputed by elections; the electoral procedure by which the candidates to these functions will be nominated by citizens, as possessors of national sovereignty; ascertain the prerogatives and measures that will limit their power. Respecting all these conditions will raise awareness among citizens that they are free to decide upon their own future and that of the entire society.
