Abstract
The essay aims to analyse, in a comparative key, the role of Parliament as the core of constitutional amending power with reference to its position as the main actor in the special legislative procedure which tends to preserve the primacy of the Constitutional Charter, and to test how the centrality of the parliamentary phase in Constitutional revision procedure still represents today, despite the crisis of representation system, the guarantee of the principle of constitutional rigidity.
