Parliament of the United Kingdom
The Parliament of the United Kingdom is the highest legislative body in the United
Kingdom and British overseas territories.
It alone has parliamentary sovereignty over all other political bodies.
At its head is the Queen Elizabeth II.
The parliament has an upper house, the House of Lords, and a lower house, the
House of Commons.

A House of Commons evolved at some point in England during the 14th century,
