Abstract

The present investigative work is carried out in order to analyze the scope of the principle of responsibility of public administration within the Legislative Function, based on the fact that the constitutional rule and the Organic Law of the Legislative Function establishes the procedure to be applied to impeachment in cases where officials fail to fulfill their powers and their obligations entrusted to them in accordance with Arts. 129, 131 of the Ecuadorian Constitution. It is important to carry out this study which leads to understanding how in the country political trials are proposed and developed and the actions of the National Assembly as the administrative body of justice in this type of procedure, just as legal regulations based on the principle of administrative responsibility must apply to follow due process, judicial protection and legal certainty so that those responsible for non-compliance with this principle are sanctioned and do not go unpunished or are filed without penalty. In this research, the qualitative approach was used as a methodology because the applicability level of the principle of responsibility within the National Assembly was analyzed, with these case studies it was possible to determine the process followed in the political trials that took place in the country during the decade of Correismo. The interview was used as a data collection instrument, made up of 5 questions addressed to members of the Assembly to learn about the experiences lived on this subject within the audit institution. Finally, conclusions are presented that show the importance of the principle of administrative responsibility in the development of political trials in Ecuador. And hopefully in the future the preparation of legal reforms that have to do with political control will be considered
