                            <p>The Belgian Constitution of 1831 is one of the constitutions that set an example during the preparation process of Ottoman constitutional law. The most important reason for this was the spirit of the Belgian Constitution, which brought together the monarch, parliament, and executive branch. Despite being inspired by the Belgian Constitution, Ottoman constitutional law was significantly different. The main objective of this study is to identify the similarities and differences between the two documents and to understand the spirit of Ottoman constitutional law. Therefore, to clarify the differences between documents, a comparative method is adopted primarily centered on articles that organize the structure and authority of the monarch and legislative and executive bodies. The main differences can be observed in the relationship among these three bodies. When the necessary provisions are compared, Ottoman constitutional law lacks specific provisions that might allow the development of equitable harmony between the monarch, parliament, and cabinet. More precisely, Ottoman constitutional law did not have the foundations for limiting the sultan’s power and creating a balanced division of power among the three bodies. Consequently, despite their similarities, Ottoman constitutional law lacks certain elements that allow it to be called a constitution; therefore, it is instead referred to as a constitutional charter.</p></trans-abstract>

La raison la plus importante était la prise de l’essence de la Constitution Belge qui avait rassemblé tous les pouvoirs sous la monarchie. Bien qu’inspirée de la Constitution Belge, la Loi Constitutionnelle ottomane portait les différences importantes en comparaison avec le document belge. L’objectif principal de cet article est d’identifier les convergences et les divergences entre les deux textes et de comprendre l’esprit de La Loi Constitutionnelle Ottomane. Pour ce but, on emploie une méthode comparative qui nous permette de voir les différences entre les dispositions de ces deux documents. C’est pour cela, on a particulièrement choisi les dispositions qui prévoient les pouvoirs du Roi, les corps législatif et exécutif, considérant que cette différentiation est évidente entre les trois forces. Quand on compare les dispositions de ces documents, la Loi Constitutionnelle ottomane avait manqué de certaines provisions permettant de construire une harmonie entre le Sultan, le cabinet et le parlement. Plus précisément, contrairement à la Constitution belge, la Loi Constitutionnelle ottomane, ne disposait pas les fondements nécessaires pour limiter les pouvoir du Sultan et s’établir une répartition équilibrée des tâches entre ces trois corps. Par conséquent, on voit que malgré les similitudes entre ces documents, la Loi Constitutionnelle Ottomane manque de certains éléments nécessaires et pour cette raison elle est considérée comme une charte constitutionnelle plutôt qu’une constitution.</p></abstract>
