In a democratic state, power comes from the people. The representatives elected by the people are those who exercise legislative power. Their main task is to establish the political direction of the state through the review and adoption of laws (legislative function). Due to the fact that the Assembly is the body that is legitimized by the popular will, through elections, it enjoys a strong position in the state system and this is clearly expressed in the Albanian Constitution. Moreover, the Assembly enjoys a right of control over bodies and other constitutional institutions or established by law (control function), thus preventing these bodies from taking, independently, decisions contrary to the popular will. All members of Parliament have the responsibility to represent the opinion of their constituents during various parliamentary debates in such a way as to express, as far as possible, what the majority of voters, represented by the parliamentary majority, require.

The Albanian Parliament consists of 140 deputies. It is elected for a term of 4 years. The Albanian Parliament is composed of a single chamber and its members are elected at general elections. The Assembly conducts its annual proceedings in two sessions. It organizes its activity through a normative act, which is the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, which I based solely on the constitutional norms and is approved by a majority of all members of the Parliament (Article 75/2 of the Constitution).
