Abstract
Abstract This chapter discusses the relationship between constitutional jurisdiction and the separation of powers by analysing how constitutional law juridifies political processes, how the substantive review of legislation against a constitutional standard is exercised, and how constitutional validity is preserved in times of an increasing internationalization and supranationalization of public authority. It compares the solutions found in different constitutional systems in the European legal space to these problems, in particular with regard to the three main systems in place to secure the constitutionality of laws: parliaments, (all) courts, and specialized constitutional courts. The chapter shows how the ongoing Europeanization and internationalization of law granted the ordinary courts new powers, in particular in systems with specialized constitutional courts.
