of the laws. Art. 70 of the Constitution, divides the Parliament in two Houses: the

Houses of the deputies and the Senate of the Republic.

THE PRESIDENT All the laws, in last appeal, must be promulgated by the

President of the Republic who can

postpone a law to the Parliament if he

believes that this is in contrast with the

Constitution (right of veto), but

exclusively for the first time. Also the

Government can emanate an action having

strength of law (called decree law), but

this must subsequently be confirms

from the Parliament, otherwise there

will be the decadence of the decree.

A

EXECUTIVE POWER In Italy the Government manages the executive power and has therefore the assignment to make

to get the laws effective. To develop this assignment and to do therefore to work the

whole car of the State, the Government directs all the activities of the administration of the State. The principal responsibilities of the Government are: the legislative initiative, through the elaboration of proposals and

decrees; the command and the control of the military apparatus in all of his/her articulations; the politics of budget and financial, through the elaboration of different documents that you/they

define the financial situation of the State, the entrances, the exits, the expenses and the

investments.

JUDICIAL POWER

Judicial power allows in by definitive and autonomous to resolve a controversy of civil

nature, penal and administrative applying the law. This power is submitted to the judges that form the Magistracy. In a democratic State the law is equal for everybody and the judge must use the laws and not to judge according to the

personal opinion. The Magistracy is an independent organ that doesn't depend on the

Office of the Justice but is self-governing through the Superior Council of the Magistracy,

that is presided by the President of the Republic.
