Summary/Abstract: Art. 61, paragraph (1) of the Romanian Constitution registers two principles: 1) the Parliament is the supreme representative body of the Romanian people and 2) the Parliament is the sole legislative authority of the country. However, the first principle is contradicted by other constitutional and legal regulations, coming into conflict, in particular, with the requirements of the principle of separation of powers, while the second principle should be reconsidered and redefined given that Government expands its regulatory powers, adopting laws by assuming liability, or emergency ordinances in all areas, including those reserved for organic laws, and given that legal regulations that govern even more of our social relations are adopted abroad.
