​KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Legislature


The legislature is the body with the authority to make laws. In the United Kingdom, it consists of Parliament, which includes the Crown, the House of Commons, and the House of Lords.


The legislature plays a central role in governance by enacting statutes, scrutinizing government actions, and representing the public. Its authority reflects the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, under which Parliament has the ultimate power to create or repeal laws.
