Kingship and Parliament
Kingship refers to the authority and role of a king as the leader or ruler of a country, often with historical roots in monarchy. Parliament is a formal assembly of representatives, typically from different regions or groups, responsible for making laws, debating policies, and representing citizens' interests. Together, they historically represent different sources of power—kingship embodying centralized authority and Parliament representing a collective voice. Over time, many countries transitioned from absolute monarchy to systems where Parliament holds significant legislative power, balancing or limiting the role of the monarchy to ensure democratic governance and prevent tyranny.
