The role of the Parliament in the Albanian Constitution of 1925

Abstract

The role of the Parliament in the Albanian Constitution of 1925 - The history of parliamentarism in Albania is undoubtedly linked to its constitutional background and that of the models originating from other states, especially those within Europe and the United States. This essay will examine the primary role and functions of parliament as a constitutional body in the state-building process. Then we will discuss the role of parliament in the constitution of the First Republic of 1925, a constitution that, for the first and last time, provided for a bicameral parliament. This study will be based on a comparison with parliaments of the time, as well as on the impact it has had on future parliaments of the Albanian state to the present day.
