Constitutional protection of the right of citizenship in criminal legislation

Abstract

If rights and freedoms are pillars of the rule of law, then these pillars must be guaranteed in all laws to prevent control and abuse of power. This guarantee in the legal state is to entrust a body of a judicial or political nature to monitor the extent to which those addressed by the law respect constitutional legitimacy. There is an urgent need to define the constitutional protection of rights and freedoms in the light of the principle of the rule of law on which the legal state is based, and its connection to the concept of democracy. With this protection, the constitutional foundations of all branches of law are crystallized, and this legal position is determined in the light of the constitutional legitimacy established by the constitution to protect the right of citizenship within criminal legislation, which is what it requires clarification of the criterion that confers this constitutional legitimacy on the protection of rights and liberties, and achieving a balance between rights and liberties with other constitutional values, whether they are represented by rights and liberties or the public interest.
