Abstract

Most of the world’s constitutions adopt the principle of checks and balances between the legislative and the executive authorities and these checks and balances differ in quantity and quality based on the relationship between these authorities whether in society or in the environment surrounding the methods of governance and public office appointments. 


One of these methods of oversight by the legislative authority over the executive authority is the procedures and tools the legislative authority holds, and one of these procedures and tools is the questioning of the prime minister and his cabinet members to ensure they are accountable for the actions that fall within their remit. Questioning is one of these procedures and tools used by the parliament to perform its supervisory duties over the government as it implies the elements of accusation and accountability for the government actions, which indicates the relation between the questioning and vote of no confidence. This may lead to a vote of no confidence in the government or one of its members in case a violation was proven to have been committed by them and this can be defined as Political Ministerial Responsibility
