Document Summary
In contrast to the executive in a parliamentary system, there is no democratic governmental system in place in which the legislative doesn"t sustain its legitimacy directly from the people. The ability to dissolve the legislature constitutes a particularly invasive infringement of institutional autonomy. Dissolution comes in three forms: dissolution can be a mandatory aspect of a specific process. A constitution that permits the executive rather than voters. To appoint members to the legislature reduces the institutional autonomy and independence of the legislature. First category of appointment powers only influence the legislative function minimally because appointees either lack voting rights or are members of a largely ceremonial second chamber, only exercising advisory functions. The power to tax and spend is an integral part of legislative autonomy. Executives that must approve requests from the legislature for funding can exert significant leverage over the work of the legislature. To secure the institutional autonomy of the legislature, immunity should extend to its members.
