Alaptörvényben

Alaptörvényben is the Hungarian phrase for "in the Fundamental Law". The Fundamental Law of Hungary, adopted on January 1, 2012, is the constitution of Hungary. It replaced the previous constitution, which was in effect since the fall of communism in 1989. The Fundamental Law was drafted by the ruling Fidesz party and its coalition partners and has been the subject of considerable debate and criticism, both domestically and internationally.

The Fundamental Law outlines the basic principles of the Hungarian state, including its form of government, the rights and obligations of citizens, and the structure of its institutions. It emphasizes Christian values and national identity, and has been criticized for perceived limitations on judicial independence and freedom of the press. Amendments to the Fundamental Law can be made with a two-thirds majority vote in the National Assembly. The phrase "alaptörvényben" would appear in legal texts or discussions pertaining to the constitution of Hungary, referencing provisions or principles established within this foundational document. For example, a legal scholar might write about the interpretation of a certain right "alaptörvényben" to refer to its specific wording and context within the Fundamental Law.
