3) Methodology
Research Design
Examining the principles of the Constitution and Republic of Albania is the goal of this study
strategy. This subject is very important since it clarifies the framework and guiding principles
that Albania's political and judicial system is based on. This study tries to offer a thorough
understanding of the constitutional underpinnings of the nation by looking at the Constitution, its
historical context, and its effects on the Republic of Albania.
Research Procedures
The actions listed below were taken:
We started by conducting an initial phase of study when we looked at previous works, scholarly
articles, and legal documents related to the subject. We were able to outline our main study
questions and goals thanks to this early investigation.
We then made a research framework by outlining our goals and inquiries in great detail. Along
with taking into account the time and resource limits, we also thought about the study's scope
and limitations. This framework served as a guide for our investigation.
The gathering of data was essential to our investigation. We did a thorough analysis of the
literature, looking at pertinent sources such the Constitution, statutory law, historical records, and
court decisions. In order to get opinions from a range of stakeholders, including lawyers,
academics, politicians, and citizens, we also created survey questions and interview guidelines.
Kind of data
Both qualitative and quantitative data sources were employed in our investigation of the
principles of the Constitution and the Republic of Albania.
For the purpose of gathering in-depth viewpoints and ideas from many stakeholders, qualitative
data was absolutely essential. Interviewing intellectuals, legislators, citizens, and legal experts
was a part of this. We were able to study the participants' experiences, viewpoints, and
interpretations of the Constitution and the Republic of Albania thanks to the interviews'
extensive and complex material. Additionally, open-ended survey questions allowed participants
to freely express their views and ideas while also being geared to elicit qualitative replies.
On the other hand, quantitative data offered numerical information that could be examined
statistically. Structured survey questionnaires with closed-ended questions were used to gather
this kind of information.
Our study was able to offer a thorough grasp of the subject by combining qualitative and
quantitative data. While the quantitative data gave a quantitative evaluation of several factors
relating to the Constitution and the Republic of Albania, the qualitative data allowed us to delve
into the subtleties and intricacies of people' opinions.
