		The parliamentary political parties were lulled by the passage, �The sovereignty of Nepal will be vested in the Nepalese people�, in Article 3 of the constitution, but they did not take notice of the Damocles sword of the so-called inherent state authority of the king as proclaimed in the preamble of the same constitution.

	CHAPTER V
		Parliamentary government, or cabinet government, can be defined as "the form of constitutional democracy in which executive authority emerges from, and is responsible to legislative authority."
		In the Romanian Constitution of 1866 the institution of the political responsibility of the government doesn’t appear and, for that reason, it is doubtful that the formal political system of that period could be considered a parliamentary democracy.
		Being the result of a political compromise, the Convention actually stipulated some rules opposed to a parliamentary system, for example, it provided for the prince to govern together with his ministers, which was a recognition of the right of the chief of state to take part in the executive functions of the state.

	Islamic History and Culture - The Arab's Impact on European Civilization - Parliamentary Government
		It could be said that the difference was great between one ruler who disregarded parliamentary government while believing in Diving Right and the Heavenly Authority exercised by him and another who was afraid of such a disregard lest he would, by announcing his disregard, be violating Divine Right and the Heavenly Authority.
		But the difference was great between a ruler who could completely ignore the basis of the parliamentary government and another who could not do so or dare to announce publicly his dislike of the system without being accused of violating the religion and disobeying Allah.
		It was natural for them to dismiss the parliamentary government, because they could not control the Egyptian administration totally while there was another force pulling against them which was represented by the parliament.

	National 5 (Spotlight Weekly)
		The court held that the prime minister has the authority to recommend the dissolution of the House on political grounds, and these political grounds cannot be evaluated by the Supreme Court on the basis of the doctrine of separation of power, intimidating the viability of the political ground and its intensity.
		What makes a parliamentary democracy democratic is that, once a legislative election has been held, the new legislature has the power to dismiss the incumbent executive and replace it with a new one.
		In the parliamentary form of government, the prime minister has many prerogatives, and the right to dissolve parliament is an integral one.

	Sovereignty and Democracy in the European Union - Speech by Chris Patten
		In the modern world, national sovereignty will be exercised at different levels, with delegation sometimes downwards to regional and local authorities, and sometimes upwards to groupings of nations such as the EU; and even to the global level, for example by recognising the authority of an International Criminal Court.
		The concept of sovereignty is a difficult one because there is often confusion between sovereignty de jure the supreme legal authority; and sovereignty de facto - the ability to induce men to take a desired course of action.
		Yet 'sovereignty' in the sense of unfettered freedom of action, is a nonsense.

	OUP: Sovereignty of Parliament: Goldsworthy

	Iraq: Election Implications - Forbes.com
		Changes could be made to the Transitional Administrative Law to give the ITG the legal authority to pass permanent laws (for instance, concerning the role of Islamic law).
		The first issue facing the TNA--which is also charged this year with writing a new constitution before the tentatively planned election of a constitutionally elected government by Dec. 15--will be the formation of the executive branch: the Transitional Executive Authority.
		To gain an accurate appreciation of the political geography of the Transitional National Assembly (TNA), it is necessary to look beyond the electoral lists, which, in many cases, were electoral pacts rather than durable political alliances.
