Article 42 states the main principles of Dutch government: that it is formed by King and ministers ( Subarticle 1 ) and that " the King is inviolate ; the ministers are responsible " ( Subarticle 2 ).

Royal decree also institutes the ministries ( Article 44 ), which have tended to be very variable in number and scope, and non-departmental ministers ( Subarticle 2 ), who officially have no ministry but whom in fact is assigned the necessary personnel and who sign and are responsible for a partial budget.

The ministers together form the Council of Ministers ( Article 45 ), presided by the Prime Minister ( Subarticle 2 ), which assembles ( in fact weekly ) to promote the unity of the general governmental policy ( Subarticle 3 ).

By Royal Decree are appointed secretaries of state ( Article 46 ); these are subordinate to a certain minister who is fully responsible for their acts ( Subarticle 2 ).

They are elected on basis of proportional representation ( Article 53 ) and by a secret ballot ( Subarticle 2 ).

The House of Representatives is elected by all Dutch citizens over the age of eighteen ( Article 54 ), except those who have been disqualified by a court sentence as part of their punishment for a crime or those who have been declared incapable by court because of insanity ( Subarticle 2 ).

Each House appoints its own President from its members ( Article 61 ) and a clerk, not from its own members ; no officials of the States-General may be member of the States ( Subarticle 2 ).

Within three months elections have to be held ( Subarticle 2 ).

The sessions of the States-General are public ( Article 66 ), but the session will be secret ( In camera ) when the House in question so decides ( Subarticle 3 ) which can be proposed by a tenth of the quorum or the President, on which proposal the doors are closed immediately for the vote ( Subarticle 2 ).

Decisions are taken by majority ( more than half of the votes, Subarticle 2 ) and without mandate ( Subarticle 3 ) — a reference to the situation under the Republic when each delegate had to vote on instruction from the nobles or city councils he represented.

Government members have access to the sessions and can freely partake in the discussions ( Article 69 ); they can also be invited to do so by the Houses ( Subarticle 2 ).

The Council also acts as the highest court for administrative appeal ( Subarticle 2 and 3 ); it thus has the final say on the way the country is actually ruled, though this is limited by the fact such appeals can only be made on formal or procedural grounds.

The members of the Council, the Staatsraden, are appointed by Royal Decree for life ( Subarticle 2 ); they can be dismissed on demand by Decree, or in cases determined by law by the Council itself, and law can determine an age limit ( Subarticles 3 and 4 ).

This competence may exceed the functions indicated in Article 73 ; in this case no delegation is allowed ( Subarticle 2 ).

Subarticle 3 contains a right to welfare for the destitute.

Subarticle 1 expresses the social right that education in general is an ongoing concern for the government ; Subarticle 4 states that municipalities have the duty to provide for sufficient primary schools.

His competence may by law be determined to exceed that given in Subarticle 1 ; delegation is allowed ( Subarticle 4 ) — in contrast with the arrangement given for the Council of State and the Court of Audit.

However, one safeguard that is typical of the Judicial, to guarantee its independence, is also characteristic of the Dutch judiciary: its members are appointed for life ( Article 117 ); they can resign voluntarily or will be fired at an age determined by law ( Subarticle 2 ); present law prescribes an age of seventy.

Formal law determines in which cases the Supreme Court may reverse judgments of lower courts ( cassation ) for violation of the law ( Subarticle 2 ).

The duty of State to ( equally ) fund is limited to free compulsory education ( presently until the age of sixteen ); Subarticle 7 however states that law will specify the conditions under which non-compulsory education will be funded ; unsurprisingly there is in fact in this field also strict equality.

Subarticle 3 extends this arrangement to cases of destruction, partial damage, total loss and limitations of the right to property, caused by the competent authority to serve the public interest.

Subarticle 3 contains the penal law obligation of the authorities to ensure that a trial takes place and is finished within a reasonable period of time.

They do however have the right to invite any expert to assist them in the discussions ( Subarticle 3 ).

They can be dismissed on demand by Decree or when reaching an age determined by law ( Subarticle 2 ); or dismissed by the Supreme Court in certain other cases determined by law ( Subarticle 3 ).

Law determines the competence of the ombudsman and the way he proceeds ; delegation is allowed ( Subarticle 3 ).

The law regulates the organisation, composition and competence of these bodies ( Subarticle 2 ); other competences than mere advisory ones may be attributed by law ( Subarticle 3 ); in both cases delegation is allowed.

Subarticle 3 determines that if a treaty conflicts with the Constitution, it has to be approved by a two-thirds majority of both Houses.

This approval must be given by the United Assembly ( Subarticle 3 ), as it would be most embarrassing if the House of Representatives approved but the Senate withheld approval.

The powers of lower administrative bodies can be limited ; the basic rights expressed in Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 Subarticle 2, 13 and 113 Subarticle 1 and 3 can be infringed upon ( Subarticle 2 ).

The States-General decide in United Assembly whether the state of emergency must be maintained, immediately after its declaration and as often as they see fit afterwards ( Subarticle 3 ).
