A parliament is a legislative body that is responsible for making laws and governing a country or region. Parliaments are typically composed of elected representatives, who are chosen by the people through a democratic process. The powers and responsibilities of parliaments vary depending on the specific political system of a country.
In some countries, parliaments are bicameral, meaning that they are made up of two chambers or houses. The lower house, also known as the House of Representatives or the House of Commons, is usually responsible for initiating legislation and representing the people. The upper house, also known as the Senate or the House of Lords, is typically responsible for reviewing and approving legislation.
In other countries, parliaments are unicameral, meaning that they are made up of a single chamber. These parliaments may have similar powers and responsibilities to bicameral parliaments.
Parliaments play a central role in the political system of many countries, and they are a key institution of democratic governance.
