CCR facts for kids

CCR is a short way to refer to a few different things. Two common meanings are the Constitutional Court of Romania and the famous American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Let's learn more about them!

What is the Constitutional Court of Romania?

The Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) is a very important court in Romania. Its main job is to make sure that all laws passed by the government follow the country's most important rulebook. This rulebook is called the Constitution. Think of the Constitution as a set of basic rules for how the country should be run.

What Does a Constitutional Court Do?

A constitutional court checks if new laws or government actions fit with the Constitution. If a law goes against the Constitution, the court can say it is not valid. This helps protect the rights of citizens. It also makes sure that the government acts fairly and within its powers.

The Role of the CCR in Romania

The CCR in Romania has nine judges. These judges are appointed for a nine-year term. They are chosen by the President, the Senate, and the Chamber of Deputies. Their decisions are final and cannot be appealed. This means their rulings are very powerful. They help keep the balance between different parts of the government.
