The Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan reflects all the basic principles that characterize a democratic state system. The fundamental law of our country states that the only source of power is the people, and also that the Republic of Azerbaijan is a democratic and legal state, and state power is based on the principle of separation of powers. It is gratifying to note that in addition to political rights, such as the right to elections and referendum, citizens have other opportunities to participate in the exercise of state power, one of which is the right of legislative initiative of citizens.
