L'occasion de rappeler quelques éléments: 1. L'avis du Conseil d'État est toujours consultatif mais son importance n'est pas la même lorsqu'il s'agit d'une révision constitutionnelle. 2. S'il s'agit d'une loi ordinaire ou organique, il est très utile pour éviter la censure pour inconstitutionnalité

Le contentieux de la nationalité relève à la fois du juge judiciaire et du juge administratif. Pour comprendre cette complexité apparente, il faut revenir sur l’histoire et se pencher sur ce que ce droit recouvre. C'est ce que fait @juleslepoutre.bsky.social dans le premier article du dossier.
