The paper analyses the impact of the supra-constitutional status of Sharia'h on constitutional rights, criminal, fiscal, and family laws. The legislative and interpretative frameworks follow the legal positivist approach. However, the constitution binds the state organs to follow the principles of Sharia'h. The supra-constitutional status of Sharia'h creates overlapping legal frameworks. Resultantly, the decisions of the constitutional courts diverge from the positivist framework of laws making it open for wider interpretation as per the principles of Sharia'h. The study argues that the supra-constitutional status of Sharia'h impacts the legislation and interpretation of laws in Pakistan. The methodology used is the documentary analysis of cases decided by the constitutional courts. This study will present the analysis of the supra-constitutional status of Sharia'h vis-a-vis the positive framework of the legal system of Pakistan.

This paper analyses three aspects of the constitutional reform procedures provided for in Arts. 167 and 168 Spanish Constitution: ownership and exercise of the parliamentary initiative, single reading and urgent procedures and qualified majorities at the decision stage. If those want to be truly democratic, they should integrate the minorities in all their phases although not always with the same degree of intensity. Verified some deficiencies, this paper offers some proposals for change: conferring the initiative of reform to the same number of members of parliament that hold the legislative initiative, eliminating the special and summary procedures in this field and linking the qualified majorities to those reforms which affect the essential elements of the democratic principle. This being so, the way in which the constitutional reform is carried out will keep up with the importance of what is being reformed.

This study deals with two of the most significant trends in global constitutionalism: the rising power of courts to review the 'constitutionality' of formal constitutional amendments, and political backlashes - as part of democratic erosion - aiming to curtail the court's authority. Focusing on Brazil's Supreme Court as our case study, we raise the hypothesis that the power to review constitutional amendments allows the justices to primarily decide cases according to their own policy preferences, rather than by searching for second-best solutions considering possible political overrides and backlashes. We argue, in sum, that the behaviour of justices might be altered by the power to review constitutional amendments, insofar as they have less to fear from political backlashes and overrides.
