  • An Analysis of Bicameralism As a Viable Legislative

    An Analysis of Bicameralism As a Viable Legislative

    AN ANALYSIS OF BICAMERALISM AS A VIABLE LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM IN PAKISTAN Aminah Gilani Abstract: As a common perception, bicameralism is considered mandatory asset to Federal form of government, while contrary to this perception, the data from April 2014 shows that approximately 41.5% of legislatures around the world practice bicameral legislatures, whereas in Europe alone 64.58% have been noted as unicameral legislatures. In this paper, the researcher reviews and analyzes many of the arguments made on behalf of bicameralism using the data accessible through secondary sources. In, Pakistan bicameralism has become a traditional practice endorsed and legitimized by the constitution of 1973, however, the evolutionary forces of political compulsions require a more experimental approach towards legislative practices in Pakistan. The theoretical model provided by Path-Dependency facilitates this research in understanding the dynamics that obstructs the way of deviation from traditional approach and legislative efficiency in Pakistan. This study is aimed at provoking a debate on more diverse and solution-based ideas towards governance in Pakistan, concluding that it is not the structure of a legislature that decides the prosperity of a state but its efficiency. Keywords: Bicameralism, Upper house, Parliament, Election, National Assembly, Federalism Introduction Senate- usually referred to as the upper house of the legislature is widely regarded as the fundamental pillar of the modern democratic political system. It is also the permanent house; therefore it maintains the continuity of the political process of the state. It is proclaimed as thesymbol of harmony and unanimity, because it is formed on the basis of uniform representation from the respective federating units in the state.

    FWU Journal of Social Sciences, Special Issue, No.4, Winter 2017, 1-11 Empowering Ethnoregional Minorities and the Federal Bicameralism:Examining the Role of Senate in Pakistan Muhammad Mushtaq University of Gujrat Federations establish power-sharing instituions at the federal level to empower the minority groups. Federal bicameralism is a part of power-sharing mechanisms that promote the shared-rule through allocating equal represention to the minority groups/provinces in the Second Chamber of the Parliament. Though, the federal bicameralism has now become a norm in the contemporary federal experiences, its strength varies across cases. The Pakistani Federation had adopted bicameral legislature in the 1973 Constituion but owing to the parliamentary nature of system, the directly elected Lower House has played an unparalleled role in the legislative and oversight business of the Parliament. However, despite of its lesser role in the polity, the minority groups envision the Senate as a forum that empowers them at the federal level. What the findings about oversight functions of the Senate illustrate is that the Senators belonging to smaller provinces are more vigorous than the Punjabi Senators, by submitting more questions, adjournment motions and call attention motions in the house, which in many ways reflect a more nuanced territorial role of the Senate. Conversely, the voting patterns and party discipline in the House lessen the territorial role of the Senate. But, as the smaller units have a larger voice in the House and the Senate is asserting for greater role, it is more likely that it would dispense more meaningful role in the years ahead.

This Assembly passed the Objectives Resolution on 12 March 1949, laying down principles which later became a substantive part of the Constitution. However, before it could accomplish the task, the Constituent Assembly was dissolved in October 1954. The second Constituent Assembly, which was convened in May 1955, framed and passed the first Constitution of Pakistan on 29 February 1956. That Constitution, promulgated on 23 March 1956, provided for a parliamentary form of government with a unicameral legislature. From 14 August 1947 to 1st March 1956 the Government of India Act 1935 was retained as the Constitution of Pakistan.
