Authors : Lanani Houssam .

Abstract

In order to examine the legal foundation upon which laws are built, this research study began by examining the historical context that followed the evolution of the Palestinian judicial system in general and the problem of monitoring the constitutionality of legislation in particular. Up to the provisions governing the court's operations, it has judicial oversight over the constitutionality of laws in Palestine, which serves as a legal pillar upon which the Supreme Constitutional Court of Palestine bases its work. It focuses on the nature of the court's rulings and decisions to confirm how much they adhere to the standards of constitutional justice. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, we must follow the descriptive analytical approach, which will enable an accurate description of how the Supreme Constitutional Court in Palestine dealt with the issue of oversight of the constitutionality of laws and the legal basis on which judicial oversight of the constitutionality of laws in Palestine is based, and then work To analyze and synthesize it in a way that reveals to us a cognitive interpretation that leads us to draw research results that will enable us to evaluate the established supervisory model and judge its ability to establish standards of constitutional justice.
