Özet:

Passing from Ottoman Empires to Republic of Turkey is symbol of big transformation of Turkish national structure in the political sense. In the focus of this transformation takes place source of sovereignity and variation of its using. More clearly divine basis of empire and understanding of sultanate sovereignity left its place to national sovereignity in republic. Now sovereignity is belong to nation and on behalf of the nation authorized people uses this power. In other side, it has been lived important changings in every constitutional term on the understanding of sovereignity along republic period. More clear saying, there are two understandings in the republic period and corresponding to these understandings has been seen two kinds of constitutionalism trends in the context of liberal democracy doctrin. These two trends different from eachother by clear lines in the main themes such as sovereignity, representation and participation.
