After the collapse of the Soviet Union, independent Tajikistan took consistent steps to build a contemporary parliamentary system, strengthen its foundation, and create other prerequisites for establishing this institution. The following features are characteristic of today's parliamentary system: its organization and functioning on the basis of the principles of the separation of powers and supremacy of law; a permanent parliament with the powers necessary to ensure its efficient functioning; specific working forms and methods and special relations between the parliamentary deputies and their voters. The parliamentary system in Tajikistan was created in keeping with the country's specific characteristics and conditions. The Declaration on the Sovereignty of the Tajik S.S.R., adopted on 24 August, 1990, holds an important place in the evolution of the parliamentary system, as well as in the emergence of concepts and ideas about it and the legislative power. By declaring state sovereignty, the Declaration recognized and formalized generally accepted principles and regulations for the organization and functioning of state power, including those relating to the parliament and parliamentary system. For example, Item 3 of this document set forth that "state power in the Tajik S.S.R. is executed according to the principle of its separation into legislative, executive, and judicial." Here a vitally important principle of the parliamentary system is recognized for the first time, that is, the principle of separation of powers and recognition of parliament (in addition to the executive and judicial branches of power) as an independent branch of state power. The Declaration also added to the content of the principle of power belonging to the people.
