Loyalty in Constitutional Law – Some Reflections
Journal Title: Polish Law Review - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Rule of law requires a clear distribution of competences for the State institutions. Competence distribution is essential for separation of powers and hinders an antidemocratic accumulation of powers.<br/><br/>The attribution of competences to State institutions by the Constitution regulates the reach, modality and procedure of the exercise of the competence. However, competences must be exercised in a way which is not detrimental to other institutions and the State as a whole. The inter-institutional obligation of mutual loyalty is a written or unwritten principle with high importance in European constitutionalism.<br/><br/>The contribution treats with significant examples of this principle, as the “Organtreue” in the perspective of the German Federal Constitutional Court or the faithful cooperation principle in federal and regional systems. General aspects shall be pointed out which determine loyalty as a constitutional category.<br/><br/>
