Summary/Abstract: The relations of power between public authorities, their trends to interfere in each other’s work, through legal instruments at their disposal in order to hold hegemony in the political arena were, over time, the object of study for expert-jurists, sociologists, political scientists - in trying to find suitable ways to lead to the observance of the principle of separation of powers and to democracy strengthening. In the current political and legal context, we cannot remain indifferent to the excessive trends exhibited by the executive power in order to dominate the legislative power, making use of certain prerogatives the Basic Law enshrines to the executive. Thus, not only in Romania but also in other EU countries, Governments, through institutions constitutionally enshrined (such as that of the legislative delegation or of Government’s accountability), entered the sphere of law-making reserved to the legislative authority, turning into real creators of legal rules. Given these considerations, the research of procedure on Government’s accountability - particularly the Government’s accountability on a draft law - is not only timely but also very necessary in order to establish legislative ways able to temper the overbearing trends of the executive power.
