Who Is Responsible? Tracing Political Responsibility

Summary/Abstract: The essay is seeking an answer to the perplexity of the notion of political responsibility. Since the idea of political responsibility is a modern one, one may wonder whether political responsibility has a meaning of its own compared to the ideas of constitutional impeachment and penalty of perjury in general. The author claims that only personal responsibility does have a domain of meaning despite the many arguments between supporters of personal and collective responsibility. A central concern of the author of this essay is that what is called political responsibility is a transformation of the personal responsibility into a blurred meaning under modern constitutional arrangements which are prone to dissolve personal responsibility among many by limiting political decision-making of the political leader for the sake of democratic rule.
