The Prime Minister's direct responsibility for the general policy of the state in the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005

Political responsibility is considered a characteristic that distinguishes it from other responsibilities because these characteristics result from the nature of the action issued by the president, in addition to the legal rules from which the action comes. Therefore, acknowledging the direct responsibility of the Prime Minister alone, without the ministry, for the general policy of the state comes in violation of the general laws of responsibility. The direct responsibility of the Prime Minister in the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005 raises a fundamental problem because the laws for determining responsibility resulting from general policy violated the constitution when it decided that the Prime Minister alone is subject to the direct executive responsibility of the state, which was referred to in Article (78) of the Constitution because the Prime Minister cannot alone determine the policy of the state. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the right laws for determining the responsibility of the Prime Minister to achieve a balanced political system capable of achieving prosperity and recovery of the state’s economy.
