Libya through this stage experiences several crises: security, economic and social. The country has a political mess, despite many international, regional and local attempts to provide solutions to successive crises, first and foremost finding a way out of the political crisis. However, these attempts did not address the major imbalance of these crises, or alert to the basis of the political crisis. The constitutional declaration issued in 2011, which controls the political scene so far, has delegated broad powers to the legislative authority, resulting in an almost total hegemony of the legislative power, with the absence of the executive authority role. It is the executive power that carries out the decisionsand are constrained by successive legislative authorities. This is contrary to the principles underlying contemporary political systems. Therefore, the research will clarify the principles of political systems and how they can be applied to the Libyan political system. Through the systematic analysis approach, the study reached the following findings: a vibration in the constitutional framework of the transitional period, which is supposed to be a constitutional bases for the next stage. The Libyan state remained in need for political re-reading in the light of modern constitutional systems, which meant the success of any political process in Libya.
