The Parliament of Romania - Development or Decisive Involvement in Romanian Public Policies

Summary/Abstract: In Romania, the decision-making system is governed by the principle of the separation of powers in the state - the executive power, the legislative power and the judiciary.The Romanian Parliament is one of the primordial institutions of a constitutional democracy. According to Article 61 (1) of the Constitution of Romania, "(1) Parliament is the supreme representative body of the Romanian people and the sole legislative authority of the country." Therefore, the Romanian Parliament has a dual role, namely to be the supreme representative body of the Romanian people and the only legislative authority of the country.Among the attributions of the Parliament, the most important is lawmaking. This activity is subject to constitutional and regulatory norms, which regulate the "route" of the law from the time of the exercise of the right of legislative initiative and until the publication of the law in the Official Gazette of Romania, norms that form the content of the parliamentary legislative procedure.According to a 2012 Gallup study, only 15% of Romanians know how the Romanian Parliament works and its real role in Romanian society. This paper will analyze the power of the legislature in the decisions regarding the Romanian public policies.
