DEFINITION OF CONSTITUTIONALISM AND ITS CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN LEGAL PHENOMENA
The article presents the definition and importance of constitutionalism provided by nu-merous legal scholars and, having summarized them, the author introduces his own position regarding it. The author gives paramount importance to the position, according to which consti-tutionalism should be considered and accepted not as part of Constitutional Law or Theory of Law, but as a general principal of Law. The connection of constitutionalism and other legal phenomena is also examined. Taking into account the legal approach adopted by the European Court of Human Rights and the Con-stitutional Court of RA, the author thoroughly analyzes the connection between constitutional-ism and the principle of legal certainty. The connection between constitutionalism and political-legal regime is also investigated.
