Legislative Initiative
The right of (legislative) initiative is the constitutionally defined power to propose a new law (bill) in a legislature. The right of initiative is usually given to both the government (executive) and individual legislators. However, some systems may restrict this right to legislators acting alone or with others (such as in the United States) or to the government (such as in the European Union). This, however, does not preclude the executive from suggesting the introduction of certain laws to their backers in the legislature, or even from members of the executive from introducing laws by themselves in systems that allow simultaneous membership in the executive and the legislature. Bicameral legislatures may restrict the right of initiative to the members of the lower house only, or allow members of the upper house to introduce bills to the lower house (such as in the Czech Republic). Groups with a right of initiative Almost all countries give the right of legislative initia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
