Belgian Parliament

The Belgian Parliament is the country's legislative body, responsible for making laws and overseeing the government. It consists of two chambers: the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate. The Chamber of Representatives has 150 members elected by the public for a five-year term, while the Senate has 60 members, some of whom are elected by regional parliaments. The Parliament debates issues, proposes legislation, and holds the government accountable. Belgium's unique federal structure allows regions to have their own governments, emphasizing the importance of both national and regional legislative processes.
