Răspunderea și rolul șefului de stat în cadrul sistemului constituțional modern [Articol]

Abstract

Historically, the institution of the „head of state” was imposed due to the necessity of the existence of a “national arbiter” vested with the competence to ensure both national unity and the proper functioning of state institutions. In this position, any head of state has a well-defined legal status, he has rights and obligations, but at the same time he bears responsibility for his actions in the exercise of his mandate. In this paper we will focus specifically on the role and legitimacy of the responsibility of the head of state, especially the President of the Republic of Moldova.
