constitutional crises

A constitutional crisis occurs when there is a serious disagreement or conflict over the interpretation or application of a country's constitution, challenging the normal functioning of government. It often involves disputes about authority, laws, or the legality of actions by political leaders or institutions. Such crises can threaten the stability of a nation’s political system, as different branches or leaders may contest each other's powers, leading to uncertainty or potential breakdowns in governance. Resolving these crises requires careful legal and political processes to restore constitutional order and ensure that the rule of law is maintained.
