The Parliamentary Sovereignty

Parliamentary sovereignty means that in a country like the UK, the parliament (the elected lawmakers) has the ultimate authority to make, change, or revoke laws. No other body, including the courts or any government institution, can overrule or set aside laws created by Parliament. This principle ensures that Parliament's decisions are final, giving it supreme legal power within its jurisdiction. It is a fundamental concept that maintains the legislative independence and supremacy of Parliament in the constitutional framework.
