Summary/Abstract: The principle of political pluralism is one of the fundamental principles of modern constitutional law, playing a key role in ensuring the democratic nature of state governance. This principle presupposes the existence of a diversity of political parties, movements, and ideologies that coexist and interact within a political system. Political pluralism is inextricably linked to the principles of democracy and the rule of law, guaranteeing the participation of a wide range of political actors in the decision-making process. This study will examine the constitutional and legal aspects of political pluralism, emphasizing its significance for the rule of law, the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, and the establishment of institutional mechanisms for its implementation and maintenance. Particular attention will be paid to the role of the Constitutional Court in guaranteeing this principle, as well as its expression in constitutional and legal norms that regulate the right of association, freedom of expression, and political competition.
