Upper House

The Upper House, often called the Senate or House of Lords depending on the country, is a legislative body that reviews and revises laws proposed by the Lower House. It acts as a legislative balance, providing additional scrutiny, expertise, and perspective. Its members might be elected, appointed, or hold hereditary titles. The Upper House's role varies by country, but generally, it ensures laws are thoroughly examined before becoming official, contributing to a checks-and-balances system within the government.
