Parliament

Japanese: Parliament
Parliament

In modern states, a parliamentary body has the power to legislate and exercise control over national affairs through the exercise of various powers, including the power to deliberate on the budget. At least one of the houses has its members elected by popular vote, especially in today's constitutional states. In the UK it is called Parliament, in the US it is called Congress, in France it is called Chambre, and in Germany it is called Volksvertretung.
[From representative of status to representative of the people]
The history of the method of political decision-making by a collegial body is very old, dating back to the tribal assemblies, but it is the medieval estates that play an important role in the establishment of modern parliaments.
