The Problem of the Definition and Application of Unwritten Sources of Constitutional Norms in the Slovak Constitutional System

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with a specific part of the Slovak constitutional system, namely the unwritten sources of constitutional norms. The authors set two scientific objectives in the article. The first one is to present in more detail the problems related to the definition of individual unwritten sources of constitutional norms. The essence of the problem of defining unwritten sources of constitutional norms is the unclear use of terms as well as the ambiguous determination of the boundaries between them. A part of this objective is to solve this problem. This means establishing clearer criteria for defining unwritten sources of constitutional norms and delineating their scope. In the paper, the authors focus not only on theoretical issues related to unwritten sources of constitutional norms, but also on the specific practice of constitutional actors – constitutional bodies. The second objective is the use and application of the developed theoretical foundations in specific constitutional situations which are presented and analysed.
