Abstract
This article examines the role of the constitutional judge, particularly in Morocco, as a protector of rights and freedoms. It highlights that within the Moroccan system, this protective mission is explicitly entrusted to the King, while the Constitutional Court shares this landscape with other institutions that have more limited mandates. The central argument is that the constitutional judge was historically established to regulate powers but had to evolve, under the influence of global conceptual shifts, towards a role as a guarantor of rights. The article concludes that despite this potential, the full and effective realization of this protective mission in Morocco remains a work in progress.
