Article 67 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany Confronted with Legal Regulations of Spain, Belgium, Slovenia, Hungary and Poland}, volume={14}, url={https://apcz.umk.pl/SIT/article/view/SIT.2014.013}, DOI={10.12775/SIT.2014.013}, abstractNote={<p>The 1949 Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany is the first constitution establishing the so-called constructive vote of no confidence as a procedure of execution of government’s parliamentary responsibility. This legal institution was later engrafted into constitutions of several states. The article contains a comparative analysis of the German prototype and its counterparts in Spanish, Belgian, Slovenian, Hungarian and Polish constitutions. Analyzing similarities and differences of these regulations enables the author to answer the question of the optimal model of reception. An additional aim of the article is to rate the Polish version in the light of regulations from the other states. The author concludes that although several elements of Polish provisions should be assessed positively, generally they contain drawbacks, weakening the main objective of the constructive vote of no confidence – stability of the government. Especially individual motions of no confidence voted on singular ministers are a danger for minority cabinets.</p>}, journal={Studia Iuridica Toruniensia}, author={Pach, Maciej}, year={2014}, month={Nov.}, pages={273–296} }
