Summary/Abstract: Organisations representing some religious denominations contested these amendments, claiming that the 1905 law would now violate the principle of secularism enshrined in the 1958 Constitution. However, the objection of unconstitutionality is rejected, because the concept of laïcité in the 1958 Constitution is defined precisely by the 1905 law, its historical roots and the doctrinal elaboration of the time that led to its approval.
