RATIONALIZATION OF PARLIAMENTARISM IN THE CONTEXT OF GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEMS AND ITS APPLICABILITY TO THE MACEDONIAN CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the philosophical basis of the proposed new constitution should be in accordance with the understanding of democratic, liberal, pluralistic and open society. With the 1991 Constitution, it aimed to pass from socialism to democracy, to transition to a multi-party system in the light of the theory of separation of powers, and thus to a majoritarian parliamentarism. On the basis of the idea of the nation-state, it was aimed to establish a secular, democratic, rule of law and the new constitution was adopted in 1991. Countries that prefer parliamentarism, systemic blockages and weaknesses that differ from country to country during the development of the system have emerged, and techniques for strengthening the parliamentary system called rationalism have been put forward. On the other hand, it is an inevitable fact that this systematic and radical change, which has been made in the axis of the ideology of the construction of the modern state, which is being tried to be made in Macedonia, has brought along some deficiencies. Actually, it was deemed appropriate to select and make the constitutional arrangements of Scandinavian countries, which are similar to the preferred majoritarian parliamentary system and social structure, as a role model. In this context, some differences have emerged and the solution proposals to eliminate them in accordance with the spirit of parliamentarism, together with their justifications, constitute the subject of this article. First of all, the basic features of the government systems and rationalized parliamentarism techniques are explained, then the systematic deviations in the Macedonian constitutional order are determined and the legal procedures are presented as a solution, which is the subject of the article.
