Kuwait Political System, Parliament, CrisesAbstract
The system of government in the State of Kuwait is Amiri and Democratic. The State of Kuwait is a sovereign and has a constitution. It is headed by an Emir. Its laws are legislated by the National Assembly which consists of fifty members elected every 4 years through free popular voting. The authorities in Kuwait are divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial, and all of them are headed by the Emir. According to the constitution, it is not permitted to form parties, despite the presence of parliamentary blocs. The system of government in Kuwait is characterized by a mixture of the parliamentary system and the presidential system. All laws approved by the National Assembly become effective after the Emir’s ratification within a month of their issuance. In the event that a month passes without ratification, the laws take effect as if they were ratified. If the Emir returns them to the Assembly and approves them again, they become effective without sending them again to the Emir.
