INSTITUT INTERPELACIJE U PARLAMENTARNOM PRAVU FRANCUSKE
THE INSTRUMENT OF INTERPELLATION IN PARLIAMENTARY LAW IN FRANCE

Summary/Abstract: The authors define and thoroughly analyze the characteristics, functions and significance of interpellation, which represents the traditional parliamentary prerogative in the area of political control of the executive authority, while it also represents a significant right of members of parliament, which is both individual and collective. Interpellation can put the political responsibility of the government into perspective with potential outcomes of resignation or vote of no confidence for the government or one of its members. As a matter of course, it leads to the beginning of a discussion in the face of the public, which represents a public and informative component of this instrument regardless of the outcome of the debate. By using the comparative, legal historical method and legal dogmatic method, the authors reflect on the development of this instrument over various periods in French constitutionality, and finally they present positive legal solutions.
