National Supreme and Constitutional Courts

Courts that sit at the top of a single national legal order, including supreme courts that hear final appeals and specialised constitutional courts that rule only on whether laws and government acts accord with the constitution. A body belongs here when its cited source describes a court of one country or one national constitutional order. The group sits under the Judicial and Constitutional Bodies subcategory of the Political Atlas and helps a reader browse that subcategory by the legal order from which each court draws its authority. Each member is placed on the strength of the page it cites, so a reader can follow the grouping back to a stated source.
