The paper studies the role and significance of such national institutions as the president, parliament, government and judiciary in strengthening constitutionalism and observing the values of the rule of law in the context of Moldova's European integration. The role of these legal institutions in ensuring constitutional values is considered, since they are the main mechanisms for the implementation and protection of the fundamental principles of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova. The relationship between constitutional norms and provisions of acts of international and European law is in the focus of research in comparison with constitutional principles and constitutional values. Constitutional values are considered from the point of view of their universality, connection with universal values, as well as in connection with the manifestation and consolidation in the norms of legislation. Attention is drawn to the relationship between constitutional values and constitutional principles, their significance taking into account the changes in the current legislation of the Republic of Moldova in the process of European integration.
