Cualquier norma que vaya contra la Constitución será considerada inconstitucional y, por eso mismo, podrá ser anulada por violar los principios constitucionales que rigen la vida institucional del país. Las demandas de inconstitucionalidad de las leyes, decretos y cualquier género de resoluciones se realizan ante el Tribunal Constitucional. La declaratoria de inconstitucionalidad invalida la norma legal que ha sido objeto del recurso de inconstitucionalidad. 1, record 2, Spanish, - inconstitucionalidad

La revisión judicial se interpreta de diversas formas [...] En aquellos sistemas legales que cuentan con un Tribunal Constitucional y una constitución por escrito, este concepto incluye frecuentemente el poder de un tribunal de revisar la constitucionalidad de una ley o de un acto oficial llevado a cabo por un empleado o agente gubernamental. El tribunal tiene la potestad de revocar dicha ley, anular el acto del poder ejecutivo u ordenar a un funcionario público que se conduzca de cierta forma si estima que la ley o el acto en cuestión son inconstitucionales. En el Reino Unido, se refiere a la potestad de los tribunales de declarar que las acciones de los entes gubernamentales son contrarias a la ley o que violan la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos [...] 4, record 3, Spanish, - revisi%C3%B3n%20judicial
