Parliament of England

The Parliament of England was the kingdom’s primary legislative body before the formation of the UK Parliament. It consisted of two houses: the House of Commons, representing common people through elected Members of Parliament, and the House of Lords, comprising nobles and clergy. Parliament’s main roles included making laws, approving taxes, and advising the monarch. Over time, it evolved into a key institution balancing royal authority with parliamentary representation. Its development laid the foundation for modern parliamentary democracy in Britain.
