constitutional norm
A legal term referring to a norm or principle derived from or established by a constitution. Used in academic and legal contexts.
Constitutional norms define the fundamental order of the state.
Whether this law conforms to constitutional norms became the point of contention.
憲法 refers to the constitution itself, while 憲法規範 refers to the norms or principles derived from it.
規範 is a general term for norm or standard, while 憲法規範 specifically denotes a constitutional norm.
Compound of 憲法 (constitution) and 規範 (norm, standard). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term is a modern legal coinage.
