Abstract

The paper considers the issues concerning the role of the constitutional control organs of the Republic of Kazakhstan in enforcing the rule of law. The author analyses interrelation and the balance between the principle of the rule of law, the principle of the rule of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the principle of the supremacy of laws. The author justifies that the supremacy of laws is an independent constitutional principle that is different from the principle of the rule of law, which significantly enriches its modern understanding. The author demonstrates what role the organs of constitutional control play in implementation of the principle of the supremacy of laws and providing control over compliance of laws and other regulatory acts adopted by governmental agencies with the Basic Law of the state.
