Abstract

Abstract: The parliament, as the sole legislative body of a state, stems from the people's need to lay the foundations of democracy and to participate in decisions that affect them. In the first decade of transition to democracy, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate adopted an impressive number of laws and regulations, as if to compensate for the communist period, in which the legislative flow was low. This profusion of laws was intended to reform on democratic bases, the Romanian society, strengthen state institutions and provide guarantees for the respect of fundamental human rights. The Romanian Constitution revised in which 2003 establishes the concrete way in which the Parliament controls the Government's activity and public administration authorities or cooperating with them, the control which aims to, an effective protection of citizens' rights. The Parliament has a key role in drafting laws, in which control and activity monitoring of various institutions and authorities of the central public administration and internal regulations in which ensure compliance with European or international. It is in this context, we emphasize a more rigorous control of the activity of this institution, on the existence of a form of Parliament responsibility towards citizens who elected him.
