Abstracts

EN

The article is devoted to the right of legislative initiative deriving from the principle of popular sovereignty. The right of legislative initiative is one of the forms of participatory democracy. The popular initiative is regulated by the Art. 118 par. 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and by the act on exercising rights of legislative initiative by citizens of 24 June, 1999. The right of legislative initiative is exercised by collection of 100 000 signatures with regard to the bill. Once the required number of signatures have been collected, the bill in the form of the right of legislative initiative is filed to the Speaker of the Sejm. The Speaker then processes such a case.
