Type: article
Abstract: The Algerian political system, like other political systems, is based on the existence of three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch.Each branch has its own powers and functions in accordance with the principle of separation of powers, which is a key criterion for distinguishing the relationships among these branches within the state.The focus of our study in this research paper is primarily on the status and position of the President of the Republic as the foremost figure in the executive branch and his relationship with the First Minister or Head of Government, as applicable, under the Constitutional Amendment of 2020.This amendment emphasized the strengthening of the legal status of the President of the Republic and his superiority in all areas, establishing him as the most important institution within the executive branch.It also worked to enhance his position, both in relation to the other branches and at the expense of the First Minister or Head of Government, given that he is the second party in the executive authority.
