Principle of representation – essence and key to parliamentary democracy

Summary/Abstract: In this article the author analyzes the origin and development process of the principle of representation. In this context, it is shown that the formation and theoretical foundation, as well as the transposition into constitutional acts of the principle of representation are much younger than its application even in rudimentary forms, corresponding to the incipient stage of development of government relations in the first socially organized human communities. The principle of representation was formed in close connection with the principle of sovereignty and is based on the idea that the people cannot directly exercise the full range of attributes involved in the exercise of state power and authority. In accordance with the principle of representation, the constitutional architecture of the state must reside in the consent of the governed periodically expressed in form of free democratic elections.
