| | Parliament Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Parliament Acts are two Acts of Parliament of the United Kingdom, passed in 1911 and 1949 respectively. | | | Since the 1949 Act was passed, doubts had been raised by legal academics as to whether the use of the 1911 Act to pass the 1949 Act, amending the 1911 Act itself, was valid. | | | The 1949 Act could be considered to be secondary legislation, since it depended for its validity on another Act, the 1911 Act, and the principle that courts will respect an Act of Parliament without exploring its origins (as emanation of parliamentary sovereignty) would not apply. |

| | ACT OF PARLIAMENT - LoveToKnow Article on ACT OF PARLIAMENT |
| | Originally the collective acts of each session formed but one statute, to which a general title was attached, and for this reason an act of parliament was up to 1892 generally cited as the chapter of a particular statute, e.g. | | | An act of parliament may be regarded as a declaration of the legislature, enforcing certain rules of conduct, or defining rights and conferring them upon or withholding them from certain persons or classes of persons. | | | that it became customary, as now, to introduce bills into parliament in the form of finished acts; and the enacting clause, regarded by constitutionalists as the first perfect assertion, in words, of popular right, came into general use as late as the reign of Charles II. |
