Constitutional Framework and Parliamentary Democracy

Abstract

This paper explores the intricate relationship between the constitutional framework and the functioning of parliamentary democracy. It delves into the core principles that define a constitutional democracy, emphasizing the rule of law, separation of powers, and the protection of fundamental rights. The study examines how these principles are embodied within the structures and processes of parliamentary systems, highlighting the roles of various institutions such as the executive, legislature, and judiciary. Through a comparative analysis of different parliamentary democracies, the paper illustrates the diverse ways in which constitutional frameworks shape governance and public policy. It also addresses contemporary challenges, including political instability, executive overreach, and the evolving nature of democratic accountability. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the constitutional underpinnings of parliamentary democracy, the paper contributes to ongoing debates on democratic governance and institutional reform.
