The Tribunal Constitucional, or Constitutional Court, is a specialized judicial body in some countries responsible for interpreting and upholding the constitution. It ensures that laws and governmental actions comply with constitutional principles and protects individual rights.

It plays a crucial role in maintaining the rule of law and ensuring that democracy is respected by checking the powers of other branches of government.
