Abstract: It is common fact that lately the concept of “rule of law” has become the main pillar for the proper development of the institutional framework of the states; and this can be explained by the fact that it implies, on one hand, several institutions of a high significance for the state, and, on the other hand, the relations that arise between such institutions. The connections between the institutions of the state can sometimes easily become a legal conflict of a constitutional nature, which, depending on its intricate content, can affect more or less the well functioning of the state. Due to the fact that between these concepts, which are of a great importance for each and every state, is a close connection, it is undoubtedly necessary to study their complex contents.

Key-words: rule of law, legal conflicts of a constitutional nature, content, institutions of the state
