The main legislative body in Britain is the Parliament. It is one of the oldest representative authorities in the world. Historically, Parliament developed from the councils that in early times were appointed to advise the King. The British Parliament consists of two houses: the House of Commons, and the House of Lords. The Queen is the formal head of Parliament. The House of Commons is an elected chamber and has more power than the House of Lords. Parliament has direct and exclusive control over legislation. It can make new laws, replace any of the laws already in force with other laws, turn conventions into laws, or even overturn established conventions.
