Fundamental Law of Hungary
Replaced the amended 1949 constitution with effect from 2012. It opens with a National Avowal, entrenches a range of policy choices, and can be amended by two-thirds of all Members of Parliament — the same majority needed for the cardinal statutes on courts, elections, the family and the media.

Replaced the amended 1949 constitution with effect from 2012. It opens with a National Avowal, entrenches a range of policy choices, and can be amended by two-thirds of all Members of Parliament — the same majority needed for the cardinal statutes on courts, elections, the family and the media.
Separation of powers
A unicameral parliament dominates: it elects the President, the Curia’s President, the Prosecutor General and the constitutional judges. Judicial administration is split between the National Office for the Judiciary and the elected National Judicial Council.
