Balance of power in parliamentary system -Iraq’s 2005 constitution model

Abstract

Balance of power is considered to be an essential principle that was and still an arguable topic among the literature. Balance of power has a special importance when it comes to the parliamentary systems and federals. The reason behind this comes from the fact that the parliamentary system is most affiliated to the separation of powers, and power sharing in federals has a specific meaning, related to what can be called vertical balance. Therefore, this article does not examine the rest of systems such as presidential system; instead, it highlights the 2005 Iraq constitution. Therefore, this article presents a definition of the meaning of the balance of power through discussing and criticising the literature.
