Abstract

This article examines the impact of the 2020 constitutional amendment on the principles governing public services in the Algerian legal system, focusing in particular on Article 27, which is analysed in order to highlight how the constitution reaffirms the classic principles of public services, foremost among which are continuity, equality between users, and the adaptability of services to change. At the same time, it enshrines modern principles for the management of public services, namely transparency, equitable coverage of the national territory, and quality of services provided, reflecting the trend towards upgrading public services and improving their quality.
