  3. The right to life Correct answer.
  4. The right to free higher education for all citizens

  1. Empire

  3. The Jogorku Kenesh, through its committees
  4. The President, through his decrees

  1. The right to liberty and the requirement of judicial authorization for detention Correct answer.
  2. The right to a favorable environment
  3. The right to freedom of entrepreneurial activity
  4. The right to vote in parliamentary elections

  1. The unitary structure of the state
  2. Freedom of speech and prohibition of censorship Correct answer.

  3. The Jogorku Kenesh's committee on legislation
  4. The Supreme Court as a court of first instance

  1. Only to the Prosecutor General
  2. The Jogorku Kenesh and the President, within the forms established by the Constitution Correct answer.
  3. Only to local self-government bodies

  1. It is recognized and guaranteed as independent within its powers Correct answer.
  2. It has been abolished in favor of centralized administration
  3. It is a subordinate department of the central Government

  1. A person may be elected President for two consecutive terms
  2. A person may be elected President for an unlimited number of terms
  3. A person may be elected President only once Correct answer.
  4. A person may be elected President only after a referendum

Explanation

The Constitution provides that the same person may not be elected President more than once, reflecting a single-term limit. This restriction applies regardless of whether the terms would be consecutive.

Question 16Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

Which of the following corresponds to the constitutional requirement of equality of rights and freedoms?

  1. Equality applies only to citizens with property
  2. Equality may be limited by regional authorities
  3. Everyone is equal before the law and the courts Correct answer.
  4. Equality concerns only electoral rights

Explanation

The Constitution guarantees equality of all before the law and the courts and prohibits discrimination on grounds such as sex, race, nationality, language, or origin. Equality is a general principle, not confined to particular rights.

Question 17Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

A citizen is denied access to a court because a pre-trial complaint procedure was not exhausted. Which constitutional guarantee is most relevant to assessing this refusal?

  1. The right to judicial protection of rights and freedoms Correct answer.
  2. The right to strike
  3. The right to participate in cultural life
  4. The right to inviolability of the home

Explanation

The Constitution guarantees everyone judicial protection of rights and freedoms, and this guarantee informs how access rules must be interpreted. A refusal that effectively bars court access engages this right.

Question 18Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

Which body has the constitutional power to declare a state of emergency in the Kyrgyz Republic?

  1. The Supreme Court
  2. The Constitutional Court
  3. Local self-government assemblies
  4. The President, with immediate notification to the Jogorku Kenesh Correct answer.

Explanation

The President is empowered to declare a state of emergency in circumstances defined by the Constitution, with immediate notification to parliament. Parliament retains oversight of such measures.

Question 19Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

A law imposes a restriction on a constitutional right. According to the Constitution, which condition must such a restriction satisfy?

  1. It must be established by law and pursue a constitutionally legitimate aim proportionately Correct answer.
  2. It must be approved by the Constitutional Court in every individual case
  3. It may be imposed by any state body without a legal basis
  4. It may be applied retroactively to conduct that was lawful at the time

Explanation

Rights may be restricted only by law and only to the extent necessary to protect constitutional values, such as national security, public order, or the rights of others. Proportionality and legality are therefore required.

Question 20Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

Which statement correctly describes the constitutional procedure for amending the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic?

  1. Amendments take effect upon signature by the President without popular vote
  2. Amendments are adopted by a simple majority of the Cabinet of Ministers
  3. Amendments are adopted by referendum, and the Constitution may not be amended during a state of emergency Correct answer.
  4. Amendments are adopted by the Supreme Court's plenum

Explanation

Constitutional amendments are decided by referendum, and the Constitution expressly prohibits amendment during a state of emergency or martial law. This preserves the people's constituent power under normal conditions.

Question 21Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

A treaty ratified by the Kyrgyz Republic conflicts with a provision of the Constitution. What is the constitutionally correct approach?

  1. The Constitution prevails, and the treaty may be implemented only after constitutional review or amendment Correct answer.
  2. The President may suspend the constitutional provision by decree
  3. The Jogorku Kenesh may ignore the conflict when adopting implementing legislation
  4. The treaty automatically prevails because international law is supreme over domestic law

Explanation

The Constitution has supreme legal force, so a treaty conflicting with it cannot be applied without resolving the conflict through constitutional review or amendment. International obligations are incorporated consistently with the Constitution.

Question 22Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

Which of the following best describes the constitutional principle of separation of powers in the Kyrgyz Republic?

  1. The President exercises all three branches simultaneously
  2. State power is exercised on the basis of its division into legislative, executive and judicial branches Correct answer.
  3. All state power is concentrated in the Jogorku Kenesh
  4. Judicial power is subordinate to the executive branch

Explanation

The Constitution provides that state power is exercised on the basis of its division into legislative, executive and judicial branches, which interact through checks and balances. This division does not abolish the unity of state power exercised by the people.

Question 23Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

A citizen is prosecuted for an act that was not defined as an offense at the time it was committed. Which constitutional rule applies?

  1. Retroactive liability is permitted when the act causes public harm
  2. No one may be held liable for conduct that was not recognized as an offense by law at the time it was committed Correct answer.
  3. The President may authorize retroactive prosecution by decree
  4. Liability may be imposed retroactively if the act is later criminalized

Explanation

The Constitution prohibits retroactive criminal liability: a person cannot be held responsible for an act that was not an offense when committed. This nullum crimen principle is a core guarantee of legal certainty.

Question 24Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

Which constitutional provision best explains why the Prosecutor General's Office may not direct a court to reach a particular verdict?

  1. The prosecutor is the highest judicial authority
  2. The Prosecutor General chairs the Supreme Court plenum
  3. Judges are independent and subordinate only to the Constitution and laws Correct answer.
  4. Courts must follow prosecutorial instructions in criminal cases

Explanation

The Constitution guarantees the independence of judges, who are subordinate only to the Constitution and law. Prosecutorial supervision therefore cannot dictate judicial outcomes, though the prosecutor participates in proceedings as a party.

Question 25Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

Which of the following is a constitutional duty of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic?

  1. To perform military service in peacetime regardless of age
  2. To reside permanently in the country
  3. To pay taxes and other obligatory payments established by law Correct answer.
  4. To join a political party

Explanation

The Constitution imposes duties on citizens, including paying taxes and other obligatory payments established by law. Duties are limited to those established constitutionally and by law.

Question 26Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

Under the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, what is the maximum continuous period for which the Jogorku Kenesh may be elected before its powers must be renewed?

  1. Five years Correct answer.
  2. Six years
  3. Seven years
  4. Four years

Explanation

The Constitution fixes the term of the Jogorku Kenesh at five years, and this term is a constitutional guarantee of periodic renewal of the legislature. Because the term is written into the Constitution itself, it cannot be extended by an ordinary statute or by a decision of the parliament alone.

Question 27Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

A candidate for deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh is told that a minimum age is required by the Constitution to be elected. Which age threshold applies to a candidate for deputy?

  1. Thirty-five years
  2. Thirty years
  3. Twenty-one years Correct answer.
  4. Twenty-five years

Explanation

The Constitution sets the age requirement for a candidate for deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh at twenty-one years. Higher age thresholds in the Constitution are attached to other offices, such as the presidency, so the thresholds must not be conflated.

Question 28Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

The President of the Kyrgyz Republic wishes to issue a decree that would alter the procedure for appointing judges. Which constitutional limitation is most directly engaged?

  1. The President may issue decrees on any matter provided the decree is countersigned by the Prime Minister
  2. The President may issue decrees only after obtaining a prior opinion of the Constitutional Chamber in every case
  3. The President may issue decrees only during a state of emergency declared by the Jogorku Kenesh
  4. The President may issue decrees only on matters not regulated by law and not contradicting constitutional provisions on the powers of the Jogorku Kenesh and the Government Correct answer.

Explanation

The Constitution defines the normative limits of presidential decrees: they must not contradict the Constitution or laws and must stay within the President's competence, leaving matters reserved to the legislature to statute. Judicial appointment procedures are regulated by constitutional and statutory provisions, so a decree cannot displace them.

Question 29Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

A group of citizens wants to form a public association whose charter includes goals the Constitution protects, but a state body refuses registration on the ground that the association's views are inconvenient. How does the Constitution treat such a refusal?

  1. Registration may be refused at the discretion of the state body because associations acquire rights only through the executive
  2. The right to association applies only to associations created to protect state interests
  3. The association may operate only after its leaders swear an oath before a local state administration
  4. The right to association is guaranteed, and refusal of registration may be challenged in court as an unlawful restriction of a constitutional right Correct answer.

Explanation

The Constitution guarantees the freedom of association and permits restriction of rights only on grounds and to the extent established by the Constitution and laws. A refusal based on the inconvenience of an association's lawful views is not a constitutionally recognized ground, and the decision is subject to judicial review.

Question 30Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: constitutional foundations, rights and freedoms, and organization of state power

A prosecutor argues that a statutory provision applied in a criminal case conflicts with a constitutional norm protecting the right to defense. Which characterization of the Constitution's legal force best supports the argument?

  1. The Constitution has supreme legal force but takes effect only after adoption of implementing codes in each field
  2. The Constitution prevails over international treaties but not over ordinary statutes adopted later in time
  3. The Constitution has supreme legal force and direct effect throughout the territory, and laws contradicting it do not apply Correct answer.
  4. The Constitution's norms are addressed only to state bodies and create no directly enforceable rights for individuals

Explanation

The Constitution declares its own supreme legal force and direct application across the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic, so a conflicting statutory provision cannot be applied. Direct effect means the constitutional norm can be relied on in ordinary proceedings without waiting for separate implementing legislation.

Question 31Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

According to the constitutional framework of Kyrgyzstan, the prosecutor's office forms part of which branch of state power?

  1. The judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court
  2. A separate supervisory body that does not belong to the legislative, executive or judicial branches Correct answer.
  3. The executive branch, subordinate to the Cabinet of Ministers
  4. The legislative branch, acting through the Jogorku Kenesh

Explanation

The Constitution treats the prosecutor's office as an independent supervisory institution rather than part of the legislature, executive or judiciary. This separation underpins the office's ability to supervise legality without direction from other branches. Subordination to the Cabinet or courts would undermine that supervisory role.

Question 32Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

Which principle requires the prosecutor's office to act independently of any other state body when exercising its supervisory powers?

  1. The principle of independence Correct answer.
  2. The principle of publicity
  3. The principle of hierarchy
  4. The principle of legality

Explanation

Independence means prosecutors are guided only by law and their own inner conviction, free from interference by other bodies or officials. Hierarchy concerns subordination within the prosecutorial system, legality concerns conformity with law, and publicity concerns openness. Independence is the guarantee that protects the office from external pressure.

Question 33Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

The principle of hierarchy (subordination) in the prosecutor's office means that:

  1. Each prosecutor acts only on the instructions of the local court
  2. Every prosecutor reports directly to the Jogorku Kenesh
  3. Prosecutors may ignore instructions from superior prosecutors if they disagree
  4. Lower prosecutors are subordinate to higher prosecutors, who may direct and review their work Correct answer.

Explanation

Hierarchy establishes a vertical structure in which higher prosecutors supervise lower ones, issue instructions and may take over or review cases. This ensures uniform application of law throughout the country. It does not make prosecutors answerable to parliament individually or to courts.

Question 34Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

Which function is central to the prosecutor's office and involves verifying that laws are observed by state bodies, officials and organizations?

  1. Adoption of normative acts
  2. Administration of justice in criminal cases
  3. General supervision over the observance of legislation Correct answer.
  4. Representation of private parties in civil disputes

Explanation

General supervision over legality is the core function by which prosecutors check that laws are observed across state bodies, officials and organizations. Courts, not prosecutors, administer justice, and prosecutors do not adopt normative acts. Representing private parties is not a constitutional function of the office.

Question 35Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

In criminal proceedings, which power reflects the prosecutor's supervisory role over the preliminary investigation?

  1. Defending the accused in court
  2. Supervising the legality of investigative actions and the conduct of the inquiry and investigation Correct answer.
  3. Conducting the forensic examination personally
  4. Issuing final judgments in criminal cases

Explanation

The prosecutor supervises whether the inquiry and preliminary investigation comply with law, including the legality of investigative actions. Final judgments belong to courts, defense belongs to advocates, and forensic examinations are conducted by experts. Supervision is distinct from adjudication and defense.

Question 36Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

The prosecutor's participation in court proceedings is best described as:

  1. Deciding the outcome of the case before the hearing begins
  2. Acting as a party who supports the public prosecution or gives an opinion on legal issues Correct answer.
  3. Serving as counsel for the defendant
  4. Replacing the judge when the judge is absent

Explanation

In court the prosecutor acts as a party, supporting the public prosecution in criminal cases or giving a reasoned opinion on legal questions in other proceedings. The prosecutor never replaces the judge or pre-decides the case. Defense of the accused is outside the prosecutor's role.

Question 37Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

Which guarantee protects a prosecutor from being held liable for actions performed in the lawful exercise of official duties?

  1. The right to free legal advice
  2. Immunity of the prosecutor's person and official acts Correct answer.
  3. The obligation to report to local authorities
  4. The right to a shortened working day

Explanation

The law provides guarantees of personal and official immunity so that prosecutors cannot be pressured through unfounded liability for lawful acts. These guarantees support independent decision-making. Working conditions and consultation rights are separate labor matters, and reporting to local authorities would contradict independence.

Question 38Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

The prosecutor's office is headed by which official?

  1. The Prosecutor General Correct answer.
  2. The Chairperson of the Supreme Court
  3. The Prime Minister
  4. The Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh

Explanation

The Prosecutor General heads the unified system of the prosecutor's office and directs its work. The Supreme Court is headed by its own chairperson, the legislature by its speaker, and the government by the prime minister. The Prosecutor General is the senior prosecutorial official.

Question 39Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

A regional prosecutor receives a written instruction from a local government head to drop a legality check of that administration. How should the prosecutor respond under the principle of independence?

  1. Suspend the check until the Prosecutor General rules on the instruction
  2. Refuse to follow the instruction and continue the check in accordance with law Correct answer.
  3. Refer the instruction to the court for approval before acting
  4. Comply, because local authorities coordinate all state bodies in the region

Explanation

Independence means prosecutors act only on the basis of law and are not bound by instructions from bodies they supervise. A local administration cannot lawfully direct prosecutorial activity. Complying or suspending the check would subordinate the office to the very body under supervision.

Question 40Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

A subordinate prosecutor receives a lawful written instruction from a superior prosecutor on how to conduct a supervision check. What does the principle of hierarchy require?

  1. The subordinate must immediately appeal to the Jogorku Kenesh
  2. The subordinate must follow the lawful instruction and may report disagreement through the chain of command Correct answer.
  3. The subordinate must transfer the case to the court for instructions
  4. The subordinate may disregard it if personally disagreeing with the approach

Explanation

Hierarchy obliges lower prosecutors to carry out lawful instructions of higher prosecutors while allowing disagreement to be raised internally. Personal disagreement does not authorize ignoring a lawful order. Parliament and courts do not direct individual supervision checks.

Question 41Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

During a trial, a prosecutor concludes that the evidence no longer supports the public prosecution. What is the legally appropriate course?

  1. Secretly instruct the investigator to fabricate additional evidence
  2. Withdraw or modify the prosecution position in accordance with law and inner conviction Correct answer.
  3. Ask the judge to decide the case without hearing the defense
  4. Continue to insist on conviction regardless of the evidence

Explanation

The prosecutor is bound by law and inner conviction, so if evidence does not support the charge the prosecutor must adjust or withdraw the position. Insisting on conviction contrary to the evidence violates legality and objectivity. Fabricating evidence is unlawful, and the defense must always be heard.

Question 42Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

A citizen complains that a ministry has issued an act contrary to legislation. Which prosecutorial function is most directly engaged?

  1. Supervision over the observance of legislation by state bodies, including the legality of their acts Correct answer.
  2. Administration of the state budget
  3. Notarial certification of documents
  4. Registration of political parties

Explanation

Challenging acts of state bodies that contradict legislation falls within general supervision over legality. Budget administration, party registration and notarial certification belong to other bodies. The prosecutor responds by protesting or otherwise challenging the unlawful act.

Question 43Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the prosecutor's office and the courts under the constitutional framework?

  1. The prosecutor's office may annul a court judgment on its own authority
  2. The prosecutor's office supervises the legality of court decisions through the established review procedures, without replacing the court Correct answer.
  3. The prosecutor's office is part of the court system and shares judicial power
  4. The prosecutor's office directs the courts on how to decide cases

Explanation

Prosecutors may use procedural review mechanisms to challenge unlawful court decisions, but they cannot annul judgments themselves or instruct courts. Only a higher court can reverse a judgment. The office is separate from the judiciary and does not share judicial power.

Question 44Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

Which set of values best reflects the principle of legality in prosecutorial activity?

  1. Priority of departmental interests over statutory rules
  2. Strict conformity with the Constitution and laws and protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens Correct answer.
  3. Subordination to the political majority of the day
  4. Expediency, secrecy and speed

Explanation

Legality requires that prosecutorial activity conform strictly to the Constitution and laws and that it protect citizens' rights and freedoms. Expediency, political majority or departmental interest cannot override statutory rules. These limits are what distinguish lawful supervision from arbitrary action.

Question 45Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

A prosecutor is offered a valuable gift by a party whose case is under supervision. Which guarantee and duty are implicated?

  1. The guarantee of immunity, which permits accepting gifts from litigants
  2. The right to additional income from private sources
  3. The principle of publicity, which requires disclosing gifts to the press
  4. The duty to avoid conflicts of interest and the prohibition on conduct undermining the office's authority Correct answer.

Explanation

Prosecutors must avoid conduct that compromises independence or undermines the authority of the office, including accepting benefits from persons under supervision. Immunity does not authorize corruption, and there is no right to private income from litigants. Publicity concerns transparency, not gift disclosure to media.

Question 46Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

Which body or procedure is involved in appointing the Prosecutor General of Kyrgyzstan?

  1. Appointment by the Supreme Court
  2. Election by direct popular vote
  3. Appointment in accordance with the procedure established by the Constitution, with participation of the President and the Jogorku Kenesh Correct answer.
  4. Selection by the Cabinet of Ministers alone

Explanation

The Prosecutor General is appointed under the procedure fixed by the Constitution, which involves both the President and the Jogorku Kenesh. The office is not filled by popular election, by the Supreme Court, or by the Cabinet alone. This shared procedure balances independence with accountability.

Question 47Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

The constitutional status of the prosecutor's office is best captured by which formulation?

  1. An advisory council attached to the President
  2. A federation of independent regional offices with no central authority
  3. A department within the Ministry of Justice
  4. A single centralized system headed by the Prosecutor General, exercising supervision over legality Correct answer.

Explanation

The prosecutor's office is a single centralized system under the Prosecutor General that supervises the observance of legality. It is not a loose confederation of regional offices, an advisory council, or a unit of the Ministry of Justice. Centralization supports uniform application of law.

Question 48Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

A prosecutor learns that an investigator has unlawfully refused to accept a complaint from a victim. What is the prosecutor's proper supervisory response?

  1. Personally accept the complaint as the investigator's replacement
  2. Ask the victim to file a civil suit instead
  3. Ignore the matter because complaints are private affairs
  4. Issue a binding instruction to eliminate the violation and ensure the complaint is lawfully processed Correct answer.

Explanation

Within supervision over the inquiry and investigation, the prosecutor may require investigators to eliminate violations of law, including unlawful refusals to accept complaints. The prosecutor does not take over the investigator's role or push the victim toward an unrelated civil remedy. Ignoring the matter would breach supervisory duties.

Question 49Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

Which guarantee is most directly aimed at preventing unlawful interference with a prosecutor's decisions by other state officials?

  1. The guarantee of office space
  2. The guarantee of annual paid leave
  3. The guarantee of access to state statistical data
  4. The guarantee of personal and official immunity and the prohibition of interference in prosecutorial activity Correct answer.

Explanation

Immunity and the express prohibition of interference protect prosecutors from pressure by officials with an interest in the outcome. Leave, office space and data access are working conditions that do not address external interference. The guarantee is meaningful only if interference is itself prohibited.

Question 50Constitutional Law on the Prosecutor's Office: status, principles, functions, and guarantees of prosecutorial activity

A prosecutor is asked to supervise a case involving a close relative's company. Applying the principle of objectivity, what should happen?

  1. The prosecutor proceeds because immunity covers all official acts
  2. The prosecutor should delegate the decision to the relative
  3. The prosecutor should decide the case faster to avoid criticism
  4. The prosecutor should recuse or be removed from the case to avoid a conflict of interest Correct answer.
