[en] Constitutional crises are denounced now and then. Even if one notices a decrease in the
capacity of this concept to ignite popular mobilization, as there seems to be fewer
persons inclined to go to the streets in defense of the Constitution in crisis, the concept
of crisis retains, unquestionably, its importance, both rhetorically and
historiographically. Nevertheless, a theory of constitutional crises remains absent. The
present article proposes to confront this absence, interrogating the literature dedicated
to the concept of constitutional crises, on the one hand, and questioning the meaning of
this absence in its connection to the concept of the Constitution itself.
