Parliamentarism represents one of the most significant institutional innovations in Europe's political history, playing a fundamental role in the development of European constitutionalism. This form of political organization combines the principle of representativeness with the separation of powers, providing a framework for democratic governance and the protection of citizens' rights. European constitutionalism, rooted in the supremacy of the constitution and the protection of fundamental rights, has been deeply influenced by the evolution of parliamentary institutions. The aim of this article is to explore how parliamentarism has contributed to the consolidation of European constitutionalism by examining its origins, fundamental principles, and contemporary challenges. We will analyse the relationship between these two concepts, highlighting the essential role of parliamentary institutions in advancing the rule of law and creating a political framework based on accountability and transparency.
