Parliament
In modern politics and history, a parliament is a legislative, elected body of government. Generally a modern parliament has three functions: representing the electorate, making laws, and overseeing the government (''i.e.'', hearings, inquiries).
Although some restrict the use of the word ''parliament'' to parliamentary systems, it is also commonly used to describe the legislature in presidential systems (''i.e.'' the French parliament), even where it is not in the official name.
Historically, parliaments included various kinds of deliberative, consultative, and judicial assemblies (''i.e.'' the mediaeval parlements).
==Etymology==
The term is derived from Anglo-Norman フランス語:''parlement'', from the verb ''parler'' 'talk'. The meaning evolved over time: originally any discussion, conversation, or negotiation (attested around 1100), through various kinds of deliberative or judicial groups, often summoned by the monarch. By 1400, it had come to mean in Britain specifically the British supreme legislature.〔''Oxford English Dictionary'', Third Edition, 2005, (''s.v.'' )〕
