Besides, constitutions differ in terms of how they are amended into flexible and rigid constitutions. Palestinian Basic Law of 2003 is not explicitly provided with any legal provision or article in the Basic Law about the principle of constitutional supremacy or the supremacy of the basic law. However, some elements and legal provisions or articles could make the Basic Law supreme. Moreover, constitutional oversight to secure the supremacy of the Basic Law of 2003. To achieve the objectives of the article, doctrinal legal research methodology using a qualitative approach was adopted.

This is considered an application of the principle of the rule of law stipulated in the Basic Law of 2003. The article emphasises the need to explicitly mention the principle of constitutional supremacy or the supremacy of the basic law by amending the Basic Law of 2003 |
