This research deals with the relationship between the ministry and parliament under the current Iraqi constitution of 2005, with a comparison to the current Egyptian constitution of 2014, which examines the role of parliament in restricting the powers of the government and achieving an institutional balance between the two authorities (legislative and executive). The importance of the research lies in analyzing the impact of the balance between the two authorities on political and administrative stability in Iraq and seeking to find solutions to improve the balance and cooperation between them to achieve the state's public interest. It also aims to study the factors that lead to balance or imbalance between the ministry and parliament in Iraq and find practical solutions to improve them to achieve more excellent political stability. The research relied on the comparative approach between the two constitutional systems (Iraqi and Egyptian) and analyzed both countries' legal and constitutional texts. It adopted the hypothesis that there is a mutual influence between the ministry and parliament in Iraq and that improving the balance between them, in turn, leads to the stability of the political system in Iraq. It showed that the executive authority is dominant at the expense of the legislative authority in Iraq, with a limited influence of the legislative authority in legislation laws. This research showed that strengthening parliamentary oversight methods can be used to achieve institutional balance and political stability.
