GOVERNEMENTS VS. PARLIAMENTS. COMPETITION FOR LEGAL AND POLITICAL SUPREMACY. BRIEF CONSIDERATIONS

Summary/Abstract: One of the most important debates of recent decades has been that of the relationship between parliaments and governments in relation to the power they should hold in society. The 20th century and the last few decades have been a unique situation in history, in which political rights have spread widely, irrespective of the limitations that political actors have set. In this perspective, it becomes imperative to know not only the rights established by the constitutions of national political-administrative bodies, but especially the power relationship between them, especially in the sphere of lawmaking. For too many people the political competition is more important than the strength of the law and the entire legal system. However, it is time for a re-evaluation of the political power concept, as citizens of most countries in the world are not particularly satisfied with their own governments. Hence, a need to analyse and perhaps redefine some of the characteristics of the two institutions in order to establish a new relationship between the citizen and the state in this century. Governments and parliaments must become more present in the intellectual life of citizens, and this will lead to clarifications of their power in the political sphere, but especially in the enactment of legislation.
