Presumption of constitutionality

The presumption of constitutionality is a legal principle in the constitutional law of some jurisdictions that the judiciary should presume statutes enacted by the legislature to be constitutional, unless the law is clearly unconstitutional or a fundamental right is implicated.

The scope and effect of the presumption will depend on the particular approach taken in each jurisdiction.
