The development of regulatory statutes is based on the premise of the legal validity of laws and norms as well as the legal positivist concept of constitutional supremacy. This leads to the idea that no legislative or administrative law or regulation may violate a legal precept through action. It must therefore be said that lawmakers, the executive branch and administrative public servants can also violate legal precepts by omission, which is why they have to act in a certain way in order for a constitutional norm to be fully effective.
