| | Wikinfo Parliament of the United Kingdom |
 | | In the politics of the United Kingdom, legislative authority (that is, the power to make laws) is vested in Parliament, which is a bicameral or two chamber assembly made up of an upper house, the House of Lords and a lower house, the House of Commons. | | | The United Kingdom possesses an unwritten constitution, that is no single constitutional document. | | | Since then, parliament had been dominant, though the monarch still remains an important player in government, with government governing through the Royal Prerogative (ie, powers of the monarch) and with the monarch's formal approval still being required for Acts of Parliament and Orders-in-Council (executive orders). |

| | Also sometimes associated with the United Kingdom, though not constitutionally part of the United Kingdom itself, are the Crown dependencies (the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, and the Isle of Man) as self-governing possessions of the Crown, and a number of overseas territories under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom. | | | The United Kingdom's high literacy rate (99%) is attributable to universal public education introduced for the primary level in 1870 and secondary level in 1900 (except in Scotland where it was introduced in 1696). | | | Wales, under the control of English monarchs from the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284, became part of the Kingdom of England by the Laws in Wales Act 1535. |

| | World Law: United Kingdom |
| | The Westminster Parliament is not a public authority for the purposes of the Act, because it is sovereign and its primary legislation must be upheld by the courts. | | | Since 1966, when the United Kingdom granted the right of individual petition, the Court in Strasbourg has found the United Kingdom in violation of the Convention in a number of cases. | | | A Minister introducing a new legislative bill must provide Parliament with a statement whether the provisions of the Bill are compatible with Convention rights, and if not, expressly confirm that although he or she is unable to make a statement of such compatibility, he or she still wishes Parliament to proceed with the Bill. |

| | Parliament Houses of Parliament |
| | Following the restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, the role of parliament was enhanced by the events of 1688-89 (the 'Glorious Revolution') and the passage of the Bill of Rights which established the authority of Parliament over the King, and enshrined in law the principle of freedom of speech in parliamentary debates. | | | The result was the Parliament Act of 1911, which removed from the House of Lords the power to veto a bill, except one to prolong the lifetime of a parliament. | | | THE U.K. The Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949 |

| | Parliament - Encyclopedia of Political Information |
| | In the United Kingdom, Parliament consists of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Monarch, although the role of the Queen as part of the Parliament is generally omitted by non-legal commentators. | | | The name is derived from the French parlement, the action of parler (to speak) : a parlement is a talk, a discussion, hence a meeting (an assembly, a court) where people discuss matters. | | | In a similar fashion, the Australian Parliament consists of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Governor-General as (nominally) the Monarch's representative (though in practice the Governor-General acts independently of the Monarch), although the Australian Senate is modelled after the United States Senate, not the House of Lords. |
