Abstract

Researches about Great Britain’s constitutional history leads to the conclusion that in the early times, after British Island taking by the Normans there were functioning three councils on England’s teritory: Magnum Concilium, Commune Concilium and Concilium Privatum. The Great Council, established by the Normand Kings, made to replae Wittena – the Of the Anglo Saxon era, which gradually became the parliament of the country. Those of its members which originally were high court’s clerks made up a permanent royal council, sharing legislative, executive and judiciary responsabilities. The British Parliament has a long tradition although at the begining its responsabilities were preponderantly consultaive. The British Parliament, one of the oldest English constitutional hall i tis made up by The Queen, The House of Lords and The House of Commons. At first there was formed as a public constitution around The King, being summoned by him mainly with the purpose of obtaining subsidiars for the crown and also for advising the Monarch in certain affairs regarding the kingdom. The source of this subsidiars consisted of course in income taxes, taxes previous established by The Great Peers Assembley and Magnum Concilium. The House of Commons is independent of the Crown power. The Parliament can legislate in any field by reason of its sovereigny accepted by the king and recognised by courts. The field of law is practically unlimitted. Concerning the lagislative process The House of Common has the most important role. So as, if a bill was approved by House of Commons but rejected by The House of Lord sit can be approved by the Queen in a certain due date coming into law. The British law sistem knows two categories of laws: public bills and private laws. Public bills are setted up by the Gouvernment or by the private member’s bills, The House of Commons having the essential role of adopting them.
