Constitutional Law
As with other European democracies, the Constitution and Constitutional Laws define the separation of the three powers, including independent courts. The Constitution itself was written from the scratch in 1992. The Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms (Czech: Listina základních práv a svobod) is a document enacted in 1991 by the Czechoslovak Federal Republic. In the Czech Republic it was kept in its entirety and forms a part of the constitutional order (ie has the same legal weight as the Constitution).

Famous quotes containing the word law:
“Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.... He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
