Controversies of some constitutional interpretations of laws

The constitutional interpretation of laws is in the attention of society because of the defining character of the regulations it generates. Constitutional norms regulate social relations of major importance, and interpretation can bring about essential changes in their realization. The study aimed to elucidate some contradictory aspects of the constitutional jurisprudence in Moldova. The analysis of some decisions of the Constitutional Court allows concluding the prejudice of particular fundamental rights, such as the presumption of innocence or the right to private property. In an attempt to understand the limits of constitutional interpretation in the context of the principle of legal security, comparative and systemic methods are used for the legal argumentation of the role of the judicial forum in the construction of new legislative regulations. In the author’s opinion, the constitutional interpretation of laws does not in all cases meet the requirements of legal security. The reinterpretation of fundamental rights, such as the right to property or the presumption of innocence, can generate more legislative distortions. The constitutional interpretation of laws must be guided not by the opportunities of the moment, but by the consolidation of fundamental principles and rights.
