Abstract

A Constitutional Court as powerful as the Slovak one faces few formal constraints on its adjudicative practice. It is the supreme guardian of constitutionality in Slovakia (Art. 124 of the Constitution). It interprets a Constitution committed to democracy, albeit a very flexible one, because the text is easily amendable via a three-fifth majority in a unicameral Parliament. Hence, the Court is entrusted to guard against attempts at undermining the Slovakia’s democratic regime. This could even mean halting constitutional amendments
