ABOUT CONFERENCE :
The evolution of Parliamentary form of government in Great Britain experienced many
historical vicissitudes and necessarily intermingled with concepts of liberty, democracy and
equality. But why did United States prefer Presidential form of government over the
Parliamentary form? May be the assertion of a revolutionary change and desire of an
autochthonous constitution gave the world a new form of government with stricter principles
of separation of powers. Is it not that a stricter separation of powers ends up immensely
empowering the head of the executive? These can be some stimuli for ideas on the themes of
this Conference.
