Abstract

The Constitution is the fundamental document of the legal system and has a special status, and numerous theories and concepts have been formed about it. Despite its sanctity and respect, this document may be unable to perform its duties. This inability can be in a partial part, a goal, or the entirety of the constitution. In the constitutional theory, this situation is called constitutional failure. This article, using a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative study, seeks to answer the question of what constitutional failure means. In this article, while examining the types of constitutional failure, an attempt has been made to refer to some of the most important theories of constitutional failure. In addition, the article has also attempted to refer to the issue of constitutional failure and the theory of democracy. The theory of constitutional failure can pave the way for amending and if necessary replacing the constitution or constitutional replacement
