The highest representative body of the country is the Parliament, which exercises legislative power and determines the main directions of foreign and domestic policy of the country. Within the framework established by the Constitution, it controls the activity of the Government and exercises other powers. The procedure of the Parliament's work is determined by a decree having the force of law. Parliament ratifies, denounces and cancels international agreements by a majority of its full members. Today the role of parliament increased in Georgia. This was mainly manifested in the fact that the rights of the Parliament were expanded and the rights of the President were sharply restricted. As for the government, as the supreme executive body, it is accountable and responsible to the Parliament. Because it acquires authority once it is trusted by Parliament.
