Analysis of the main models of Western European parliamentarism and the practice of their development shows that the structure of power in them has its own characteristics; parliamentarism is generally based on constitutional provisions that enshrine the principle of separation of powers, mechanisms of checks and balances, freedom of activity of various political parties, and high legal and political culture of the population. Parliament symbolizes and implements the political representation of the national state, or what is the same, the nation-state; accepts the oath of the head of state; expresses confidence in the government on behalf of the sovereign people; etc. The author of the article believes that it is the specifics of the relationship between the representative and executive powers that form the basis of the classification of parliaments presented in this article.
