United Kingdom Parliament

The United Kingdom Parliament is the nation's legislative body, responsible for making and passing laws. It consists of two houses: the House of Commons, whose members are elected by the public, and the House of Lords, composed of appointed and hereditary members. Parliament debates and approves legislation, scrutinizes the government, and represents the interests of citizens. It operates within a constitutional monarchy, where the monarch's role is largely ceremonial. Parliament’s work ensures the functioning of UK democracy, balancing executive power and protecting citizens’ rights through discussion, criticism, and decision-making processes.
