Parliament
A parliament is a legislature. More specifically, ""parliament"" may refer only to a democratic government's legislature. The term is derived from the French parlement, the action of parler (""to speak""): a parlement is a discussion. In around 130 the term came to mean a meeting at which such a discussion took place. It acquired its modern meaning, in the mid-14th century, as it came to be used for the body of people (in an institutional sense) who would meet to discuss matters of state.Generally a parliament has three functions: representation, legislation, and parliamentary control (i.e., hearings, inquiries).
