Cuba’s legal system follows the civil law tradition, adapted to the socialist system. The Constitution’s hierarchy is above any other norm from the country. Key features of the Constitution include the recognition of sovereignty being nontransferably with people — exercised “directly and via Assemblies of People’s Power and other organs of the State that are derived from them” (article 3) — , strict regulation of personal property, and government control of the economy. The National Assembly of People’s Power, according to article 102, is the supreme organ of the power of the State, representing the entire population and expressing their sovereign will. It is the only organ with legislative and constituent power within the Republic (article 103). Article 108 establishes that the duties of the National Assembly of People’s Power include “a.

To issue a general and obligatory interpretation of the Constitution and the laws, in necessary cases, in correspondence with the procedure prescribed by the law; […]”. Article 120 of the Constitution further establishes a Council of State under the National Assembly of People's Power. The Council of State’s duties include: “a. To ensure the implementation of the Constitution and the laws; b. To give a general and obligatory interpretation, in necessary cases, for the laws in force[…]” (article 122).
