The principle of the peaceful transfer of power in the constitutions in force of Iraq ,Egypt and Tunisia

Abstract

Democratic regimes, after several experiments, have come to respect the existing legitimate authority, which took its legitimacy from the people’s election. The basis for the peaceful transfer of power represented a guarantee for the flourishing of democratic norms and traditions in them, because it ensured the achievement of justice among all the major influential political parties that wished to receive power through elections. The principle of peaceful transfer of power is the basic premise for the establishment of a just and equitable political system, through which the establishment of a constitutional state with three authorities independent of each other, a legislative authority that undertakes the tasks of oversight and legislation, a judicial authority with independent judicial power, and an executive authority fully accountable to the two authorities is achieved. Legislative and judicial.
