Constitutional law forms positive legal aspect of constitutionalism. Election law is often seen as a sub-branch of the constitutional law and, at the same time, embodies (to a different degree) ideas of democracy. Correlation between democracy and constitutionalism is one of the most debating questions in contemporary legal science.
