Limitations on the Intervention of the Representatives of a Nation in the Text of a Constitution: the Constitution Stability

A constitution establishes legal order in a state. By consolidating the values and interests of a nation, the constitution becomes the legal foundation not only for the political organization of the state, but also for the content of the community’s social relations. Such a role of a constitution presupposes the need for the stability of its legal regulation. The stability of a constitution is one of the preconditions for the assurance of the continuity of a state, respect for the constitutional order and law and the implementation of the aims of a nation on which the constitution itself is based. Therefore, a constitution as the supreme law must be a stable act. One of the conditions ensuring the stability of a constitution is the stability of its text. Thus, the text of a constitution should not be amended after, for example, some changes in legal terminology. The meaning of a constitution as an extremely stable legal act would also be ignored if the intervention in its text was made every time certain social relations regulated by law underwent changes.
