İnsanlık tarihi, savaşların, katliamların, soykırımların ve insan hayatının hiçe sayıldığı yüzyıllar geçirmiş, devletler kimi zaman sahip oldukları mutlak güç sayesinde azınlıkları hiçe saymış ve kimi zaman da devlet ile hukuk bütünleşmiştir. Anayasa mahkemesi, devletin sınırlandırılması felsefesi içinde, devlet güçleri tarafından yapılan işlemlerin, kabul edilen anayasal sınırlara uygunluğunu ve kontrolünü sağlamak için kurulmuştur fakat zamanla anayasa mahkemesinin görevi yalnızca devlet işlemlerinin anayasa uygunluğunun kontrolüyle kalmamış, kişilerin temel hak ve özgürlüklerinin de koruyucusu haline gelmiştir.Bu yazıda anayasa mahkemesinin gerekliliği anayasacılık, demokrasi ve anayasal demokrasi kuramları üzerinden tartışılacak ve demokrasinin klasik kuramı kapsamında anayasa mahkemesinin “anti demokratik” olduğu tezi eleştirilecektir. Anayasacılık teorisinin tarihinden başlayan bu yazıda anayasacılık kuramı ve demokrasi üzerinden birtakım saptamalar nihayetinde anayasa mahkemesinin gerekliliği hususuna değinilecek ve Doğu Asya’da yaşanmış politik olaylar üzerinden anayasa mahkemesinin “anti demokratik” olduğu iddiasına karşın pratik cevaplar verilecektir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>It has been almost three hundred years since the constitutional theory and the idea of constitutionalism entered our lives, and during these three hundred years, the state, the restriction of the state and democracy have always been at the centre of constant debates. The history of humanity has seen centuries of wars, massacres, genocides and disregard for human life, states have undervalued minorities by abusing their absolute power, and sometimes the state and the law have unified.The constitutional court was established within the philosophy of limitation of the state in order to check the constitutionality of the actions taken by the state powers in accordance with the accepted constitutional limits. Later, the duty of the constitutional court has become more than an institution to check the constitutionality of the state actions, it also has become the protector of the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals.In this article, the necessity of the constitutional review will be discussed through the theories of constitutionalism, democracy and constitutional democracy and the thesis that the constitutional court is anti-democratic will be criticised within the scope of the classical theory of democracy. Starting with the history of constitutionalism theory, this article will begin with some determinations on the theory of constitutionalism and democracy, and finally, the necessity of the constitutional court will be discussed and practical answers will be given against the claim that the constitutional court is anti-democratic through political events in East Asia.</p></trans-abstract>
