The motivation of constitutional decisions is a classic subject for legal doctrine but it appears that the usual way, a formal way, of dealing with it does not provide complete satisfaction. The comparison of the motivation between the Belgian and French constitutional courts required to adopt a functional conception of this notion. We approached the motivation of constitutional courts decisions in the most general context of the constitutional court’s discourse and during their motivational process. Following this reasoning, it appeared then that this discourse is integrated in a particular network of pressures but exerted a clear influence. The analysis of this situation allows to reveal the freedom-pressure part of constitutional courts, especially Belgian and French, in the motivational process of their decisions. ; La motivation des décisions des cours constitutionnelles est un sujet classique pour la doctrine juridique, mais il est apparu que la manière habituelle, formelle, de le traiter ne permettait pas de donner entière satisfaction. La comparaison de la motivation des décisions des cours constitutionnelles belge et française a nécessité de retenir une conception fonctionnelle de la motivation. Nous avons appréhendé les décisions des cours constitutionnelles dans le contexte plus général du discours des cours et de leur processus de motivation. Dans cette perspective, il est apparu que ce discours s’insérait dans un réseau de contraintes particulières, mais exerçait néanmoins une influence manifeste. L’analyse de cette situation permet de dévoiler la part de contrainte et de liberté des cours constitutionnelles, spécialement belge et française, dans le processus de motivation de leurs décisions.
