CONSTITUTIONAL LAW 202TOPIC 3: LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY
INTRODUCTION
● In this chapter, we focus on the national sphere of government and discuss the
powers, functions and operation of the national legislature or Parliament as it is
referred to in the Constitution.
● Parliament has the power to:
⮚ Consider, pass, amend or reject legislation on any subject that falls within its
jurisdiction all areas of competence
⮚ Ensure that all executive organs of state in the national sphere of government
are accountable to it
⮚ Maintain oversight of the exercise of national executive authority, including
the implementation of legislation
⮚ Maintain oversight of any organ of state
● Parliament is a bicameral legislature. This means that it is divided into two houses:
The National Assembly (NA) and the National Council of Provinces (NCOP).
Although legislative power is distributed between these two houses, the NA is
constitutionally and politically the dominant House. The idea behind bicameralism is
that the two Houses of Parliament represent different interests and thus act as a check
on one another.
● The members of each house are elected differently:
⮚ Members of the NA are elected via their respective political parties in a
national election.
⮚ Members of the NCOP are elected via the provincial legislatures.
● The NA is intended to represent the interests of all South Africans while the NCOP is
intended to represent the intended to represent the interests of provinces in the
national legislature
