The Rapports between Parliament and Government – General Aspects

Abstract

The Parliament is considered to be the sole legislative body in most European Constitutions. At the same time the same constitutions settle the so-called “legislative delegation” which means that the Parliament may pass a special law enabling the Government to issue statutory orders in fields outside the scope of organic laws. The essay emphasizes thus the special rapports between the two constitutional bodies, the Government and the Parliament, in the field of legislation.
