The Parliament of Morocco ( Arabic : ) is the legislative branch of government of Morocco. He sits at Rabat , the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco.
Summary |
Composition
Since 1996 , the Moroccan legislative institution became bicameral. The Moroccan parliament is made, therefore, two bedrooms:
- The House of Representatives. The 325 members of this House are elected for five years by direct universal suffrage, the party-list proportional representation.
- The House of Councillors , The 270 members of this House are elected for nine years with one third retiring every three years. They are also indirectly elected by the elected representatives of professional, employees and local communities.
State of emergency
As part of the state of emergency , the Head of State (in this case the King of Morocco ) can not dissolve parliament, "a state of emergency does not involve the dissolution of Parliament" (Article 35 , paragraph 2 of the 1972 constitution as revised in 1996). During the dark years - the reign of Hassan II - this right has been quite wrongly invoked as the first and only state that experienced the exception of Morocco lasted five years, from June 1965 to July 1970. However, constitutions adopted after that date contained many restrictions on civil liberties, near the state of emergency. Thus, until 1977, no elected parliament completed its term only in normal Role The role of Parliament, and respect for the Moroccan monarchy for the latter have evolved considerably since 1999, when Mohammed VI was crowned King of Morocco. However, Parliament's powers are still limited to the extent that the appointment of the Prime Minister and, on the latter's proposal, the Moroccan government is a prerogative of the King. The Standing Committees are bodies formed within the chamber, consisting of a limited number of its members who are responsible for preparing the plenary by presenting a report generally. It is there that government policy is discussed before each other and do not determine their positions in Parliament and do not endorse the final vote. Standing Committee
