摘要
歐洲憲法優位性，不僅是實踐歐洲統合的重要工具，更是回應「歐洲憲法是否是一部憲法」辯論的重要依據。歐洲憲法是否對會員國憲法及法律享有優位性，即成為歐洲憲法是否可能成為一部憲法的重要指標。國際上，法學者傾向收集、分類歐洲法院歷年優先適用原則的判決，政治學者則著重解釋歐洲法院的角色，且侷限於若干會員國的案例，尚未有完整著作敘述並解釋分析歐盟所有會員國司法機關對是項原則的態度。本論文結合政治與法律觀點，先論述歐洲聯盟法律體系中優先適用原則的內容及限制，再分析歐盟原15個會員國法律體系對於該原則的回應，最後檢視統合理論關於該原則建立路徑的分析，尋求最具解釋力的途徑。

Abstract
As regards the debate on the European Constitution-Building processes, a key question is whether the European Constitution shall enjoy the supreme status in any domestic legal system of the Member States in the EU. The Convention and IGC between 2002 and 2004 seem to have established such a supreme status in the EU by installing Article I-6 of the Constitution, which is integrally based upon the principle of supremacy established by the European Court of Justice since its famous Costa judgment in 1964. Nonetheless, no work intends to survey the relevant jurisprudence of all Member States in the EU with the intention of offering a politico-legal explanation of the development and limits of the principle of supremacy. Therefore, this shall be the objective of this paper, along with a desire to respond to the questions posed at the beginning of this paper. A general survey of the relevant jurisprudence of ECJ will be presented first, followed by an evaluation of reaction from the jurisdictions of all Member States with the exception of those that most recently joined to the EU. The limits of this principle in the European Constitution, which distinguishes it from the constitution of any modern state, shall be analyzed accordingly. In conclusion, this article presents a political-legal explanation of the development and limits of the principle of supremacy in order to determine whether the European Constitution can be deemed a constitution.
