In a constitutional system, laws are enacted through legislative processes and implemented through executive administration. Yet the meaning of those laws, and the limits of the authority exercised under them, must sometimes be clarified.

The courts exist to perform this function.

In a constitutional democracy, laws are not created by a single individual or institution acting alone. They are made through a structured process, carried out by Parliament, and shaped by constitutional limits.

Understanding how Parliament makes laws is essential to understanding how authority is exercised within a democratic system.

In many constitutional systems, the President occupies a position defined by the constitution and operates within the legal framework that structures the exercise of public authority.
