Abstract

Abstract
A constitutional State is the entity based on a constitution, an instrument aimed at attaining the peaceful coexistence of citizens and/or the responsible control of peace. The rules that serve as foundation of the State prescribe the State’s subordination to the legal order, the need of authorization to reform the order, the distinction between the controlled functions of the branches of Government, and distinguished provisions on the operation of basic rights.
Specifically, the subordination rule is aimed at establishing certainty, i.e. the «certain knowledge» by citizens and public servants of the field governed by the Law which, being general and normative, guarantees a community of equally-free citizens, with an open intent to exclude arbitrariness. This work goes into the deployment and normative design of the subordination rule in the nations mentioned in the title.
