Abstract
This essay examines whether the Netherlands should adopt a concentrated or decentralized system of constitutional review. After outlining the current prohibition under Article 120 of the Dutch Constitution, it compares Norway’s decentralized model and Romania’s concentrated Constitutional Court. While Norway emphasizes human rights through judicial practice and Romania ensures clear separation of powers through binding review, both systems have strengths and weaknesses. The essay concludes that the Netherlands would benefit most from a concentrated Constitutional Court, combining strong judicial oversight with accessible citizen involvement, thereby ensuring both democratic legitimacy and effective separation of powers.
