Constitutional Law
As with other European democracies, the Constitution and Constitutional Laws define the separation of the three powers, including independent courts. The Constitution itself was written from the scratch in 1992. The Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms (Czech: Listina základních práv a svobod) is a document enacted in 1991 by the Czechoslovak Federal Republic. In the Czech Republic it was kept in its entirety and forms a part of the constitutional order (ie has the same legal weight as the Constitution).
