Constitutionalism and Accountability: A Case of Over Accountability

Abstract

Accountability is required to be seen in a holistic view to get a fair idea of efficient and result oriented accountability mechanism. The concept of accountability
is very much entrenched in constitutionalism and rule of law and may not be separated from each other. These components functions within their own spare and checked each other. This paper consists of two parts: part one covers the broader picture of constitutionalism, rule of law and accountability. In part two I argue the situation of accountability in Pakistan with reference to part one.
