Abstract

The constitutional court in Tunisia was one of the most important post revolution gains acquired , it was institionalized in the 2014 Tunisian constitution , however it has been disrupted every time , the first time because of the divergences between parliamentary blocs in the assembly of the people’s representatives , the second time because of the president of the republic Kais Saeed who went further when he amended the constitution in 2022 and the whole constitutional architecture under the persistent absence of the constitutional judge , which is considered to some a threat to the constitutional legitimacy and a dragging of the country into authoritarianism
