Institutional checks and balances are classic legal instruments of this control, especially the activity of independent state organs. In those countries where the political system is dominated by a populist government, the institutional checks and balances and independent institutions are under constant pressure. In a consolidated political system that has already departed from liberal constitutionalism and where constitutional institutions do function only in a formal sense (illiberal constitutionalism), institutional checks and balances lose their significance. However, in addition to the exercise of powers by independent branches of government, other legal institutions or actions can also have a significant impact on relations between branches of government, even informally. Therefore, the system of checks and balances can be described as a multi-layered structure with formal (classical) and informal elements. The article analyses in detail, how the use of informal constitutional amendments and national referendums—as additional institutions belonging to the complex system of separation of powers—instead of controlling the central political power, has contributed to the informal concentration of government power in Hungary in recent years. © The Author(s) 2024.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1876-4053}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X} } @inbook{MTMT:34571025, title = {Az Alkotmánybíróság tagjainak választása Magyarországon}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34571025}, author = {Kukorelli, István and Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán}, booktitle = {Liber amicorum Attila Varga.

In the absence or questionable status of the legal capacity of a right-holder, there is a need to justify such a position. In this regard, no general standards based on legal doctrine and jurisprudence can be identified. The paper focuses on the question of whether the principle of proportionality could play a role in identifying and justifying the legal capacity to fundamental rights. Based on a review of the literature, two functions of the proportionality analysis can be identified as relevant in this regard: it supports the justification of the decision to restrict fundamental rights and it precludes arbitrary decisions in relation to the limitation. The author argues that, based on its justificatory function, proportionality can play a role in identifying the legal capacity to fundamental rights in the case of human persons. In the case of autonomous organizations, in addition to its justificatory function, its function related to the exclusion of arbitrary decisions can be taken into account when using it as a standard for identifying legal capacity. In the case of human persons and autonomous organizations, there is a need for a negative justification of the limitation of legal capacity, based on proportionality. In the case of new challengers in fundamental rights disputes (such as future generations), a positive justification is required to determine legal capacity. The proportionality analysis does not play a role here, but rather other standards that require a rationality-based justification.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2449-8289}, pages = {333-358}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X} } @misc{MTMT:34395504, title = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy Zoltán: Sólyom Lászlóra emlékezünk (stúdióbeszélgetés)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34395504}, unique-id = {34395504}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X} } @misc{MTMT:34395501, title = {Unpacking Moldova’s Language Amendment: Constitutional, Procedural, and Political Dimensions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34395501}, author = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán}, unique-id = {34395501}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X} } @article{MTMT:34395492, title = {Az arányossági teszt funkciói a nemzetközi szakirodalmi diskurzusban}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34395492}, author = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán}, journal-iso = {ALKOTMANYBIRASAGI SZEMLE}, journal = {ALKOTMÁNYBÍRÓSÁGI SZEMLE}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34395492}, issn = {2061-5582}, year = {2023}, pages = {1}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X} } @inbook{MTMT:34395488, title = {Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34395488}, author = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán and Mécs, János Elek and Somody, Bernadette}, booktitle = {The 2022 International Review of Constitutional Reform}, unique-id = {34395488}, year = {2023}, pages = {164-167}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X; Somody, Bernadette/0000-0002-1602-108X} } @inbook{MTMT:34395478, title = {Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34395478}, author = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán and Burján, Evelin and Somody, Bernadette}, booktitle = {2022 Global Review of Constitutional Law}, unique-id = {34395478}, year = {2023}, pages = {183-186}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X; Somody, Bernadette/0000-0002-1602-108X} } @inbook{MTMT:34139947, title = {Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34139947}, author = {Hungler, Sára and Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán}, booktitle = {THE JUSTICIABILITY OF ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS}, unique-id = {34139947}, year = {2023}, pages = {183-202}, orcid-numbers = {Hungler, Sára/0000-0001-5002-1641; Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X} } @inbook{MTMT:33688275, title = {Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33688275}, author = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán and Gárdos-Orosz, Fruzsina and Somody, Bernadette}, booktitle = {The 2022 Global Review of Constitutional Law}, unique-id = {33688275}, year = {2022}, pages = {158-162}, orcid-numbers = {Pozsár-Szentmiklósy, Zoltán/0000-0002-4976-471X; Somody, Bernadette/0000-0002-1602-108X} }
