constitutional law
This term refers to the foundational legal framework of a nation, focusing on the distribution of power and the protection of individual rights. It operates at a higher hierarchical level than statutory law, meaning that laws passed by a legislature can be declared invalid if they conflict with the principles of constitutional law.
In a professional legal context, the term is used as a specialized field of study and practice. It is distinct from administrative law, which deals with the specific operations of government agencies, whereas constitutional law addresses the overarching structure and legitimacy of the state itself.
