PRINCIPLE OF PARLIAMENT

Important Principles of the Parliament:

1. Power of the system is unified. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches of government all operate within the Parliament.

2. Parliament is all powerful. The Cabinet within shapes policies. It makes laws all knowing it is the highest court. No higher authority to declare a law unconstitutional.
