Since the publication in 1885 of the “Introduction to the Study of Constitutional Law” by Albert Venn Dicey, the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty became a cornerstone of the English constitutional law. The notion of the “sovereignty of Parliament” is likely to have different meanings, but in general it is linked to the democratic idea according to which the House of Commons is the supreme centre of political power as composed by directly elected representatives.

Abstract
Since the publication in 1885 of the “Introduction to the Study of Constitutional Law” by Albert Venn Dicey, the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty became a cornerstone of the English constitutional law. The notion of the “sovereignty of Parliament” is likely to have different meanings, but in general it is linked to the democratic idea according to which the House of Commons is the supreme centre of political power as composed by directly elected representatives. This essay aims at deepening the doctrinal approach to the principle through the study of the mutual relations between the Parliament and the Executive that shape the development of the British parliamentary system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
