COLLEGE OF LAW, MUSTANSIRIYAH U. SECOND YEAR COURSE IN LEGAL ENGLISH 2017-2018 INSTRUCTOR: ASST. LECT. RANIA ADNAN AZIZ Lecture 04 Part One: Constitutional Law Chapter Two Sources of Constitutional Law Introduction The constitution is a selection of rules which define the framework of a government and postulate how it ought to operate. These rules are also a reflection of the socio-political aims of the state and society. These rules may be legal or non-legal. The former (legislation, judicial interpretation and convention) are the most important; the latter are supplementary.

RANIA ADNAN AZIZ Lecture 04 Part One: Constitutional Law Chapter Two Sources of Constitutional Law 1- Legislation; i.e. rules made by the legislature, are the first and foremost source of the constitution. A constitution does not necessarily contain the detailed rules governing the working of the institutions of a government. For example, rules of election, establishment of government departments or the organization of the judiciary may nor be included in the constitution. They are usually found in ordinary laws made by the legislature within the limits fixed by the constitution itself.
