Abstract

Overall analysis and review of amendments and addenda to the Constitution in Georgia provides

a solid ground to conclude that amendments introduced to the supreme law of the country have

been conditioned by political motives. As strong authorities with high legitimacy can be seen and

as overall analysis of political and legal space shows, the conceptual essence of the doctrine of

constitutionalism is often entirely ignored.
