Safeguarding the legal force of the constitutions of the European Union member states in the era of european legal order constitutionalization: challenges, theoretical perspectives, and emerging trends

This article highlights the issue of safeguarding the legal force of the constitutions of European Union Member States in the context of the constitutionalization of the European legal order. It seeks to emphasize the key characteristics of European Union norms—namely, that in order to be effective, they must prevail over any provision of national law, including constitutional provisions. At the same time, the article aims to nuance the di versity of opinions surrounding the principle of the supremacy of European Union law over the domestic law of Member States, a topic that continues to generate well-defined scholarly debate.
