Summary: | This article presents the author’s analysis of the constitutional texts of South
American countries regarding the consolidation of universal interaction fields
between the chambers of parliaments. In the course of the study, it was found
that the typical (universal) interaction fields between the chambers of parliament are represented by the legislative sphere (implemented in the course of
adopting laws, holding joint meetings on various occasions); organizational
and personnel sphere (provides for the consolidated participation of chambers during the formation of public authorities, as well as the appointment of
officials); the control sphere, which is represented by three types: personnel
and control (related to the implementation of the impeachment procedure
against the head of state, resignation of senior state officials, expression of
confidence lack in the government), organizational and control (concerns the
formation of joint permanent and temporary commissions by the chambers
of parliament) and financial control (assumes the consolidated participation
of the chambers for the state budget adoption); the international sphere (concerns the joint activities of the chambers in the course of the ratification or denunciation of international treaties, the declaration of a state of war or the
conclusion of peace). It is concluded that typical spheres of interaction between the chambers of parliaments in South American countries demonstrate the legislator’s approaches to the development of interaction between the
chambers of parliaments.
