| | THE MOROCCAN PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM |
| | For the parliament, its responsibility starts when it is appointed, during a general policy declaration, when a text is voted, or when the parliament decides to retreat its confidence. | | | Therefore, two thirds of the House of Representatives, elected for a six-year term, are elected at the direct universal suffrage, and one third is elected by a college composed of communal elected members as well as members elected by colleges composed of professional chambers elected members and wage-earners representatives. | | | The misunderstandings are due to the fact that the elected members and political observers failed to note that this was not a bicameral system but rather a "superposition" of parliaments if not two parliaments. |

| | The only time the bicameral Parliament sits as one is under section 15 of the Australian Federal Constitution which provides for the selection by the State Parliament of a replacement Member of the Senate, the 'States House' of the Federal Parliament. | | | This was rejected as an untried form of constitution but in 1854 a select committee of the colonial Legislative Council presented a report and a draft constitution which recommended the creation of a bicameral Parliament. | | | Basically, the new Parliament was to be as suggested above, with the Governor, a Legislative Council and a House of Assembly acting together. |
