Congreso de la República del Perú

The Congreso de la República del Perú is the legislative branch of Peru’s government, responsible for making laws, overseeing the executive branch, and representing the people. Composed of parliamentarians elected by citizens, it functions as a law-making body, approves national budgets, and has the authority to scrutinize government actions. Its structure is unicameral, meaning it has one chamber called the Congress. This institution plays a vital role in maintaining checks and balances within Peru’s democratic system, ensuring that government powers are exercised lawfully and in accordance with the country's constitution.
