  • Control and Balance of Powers: These powers are balanced so that none reaches a level of predominance involving an accumulation of power and a subsequent lack of freedom.

Parliamentary Representation and Legal Frameworks Explained

Law2.6 KB

The Role of Parliamentary Representatives

The activity of individual parliamentary representatives is the initial reference point. The principal representative should be targeted to serve the interests they represent while remaining accountable. These guarantees ensure the representative's work in Parliament is protected against undue restrictions.

Another security, inviolability, dictates that if a parliamentarian is suspected of a crime, they cannot be prosecuted without the chamber's authorization to initiate the process.

Rational Deliberation and Regulations

Principles and Foundations of Economic Law

Law: A Fundamental Positive Source

In legal doctrine, law is conceived as a mandatory rule established by the authority under the CPR, intended to remain in effect and sanctioned by force.

Characteristics of Economic Law

  • Requirement: Everyone must abide by its provisions. This is an inherent feature embodied in two aspects:
    • a) An obligation to fulfill its mandate.
    • b) The obligation to respect the rights established for third parties by the legal text.
