  • List of Parliamentary Names in Different Countries

There are many many many countries in the world. Some follow monarchy, some democracy and some dictatorships. Parliaments have their name based on their country. We have a list of countries and their parliamentary names.

What is a Parliament?

The word “Parliament” comes from the french verb “Parler” which means “to speak/talk”. The meaning evolved, originally referring to any discussion, conversation, or negotiation through various kinds of deliberative or judicial groups, often summoned by a monarch.

Parliament is the highest legislative body in a country. It represents the people, makes law and oversees government functioning. In England, the Sovereign, the nobles and clergy as well as the commoners represented the Parliament in mediaeval times.

Now it consists of the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. British Parliament is considered as the mother of all parliaments in the world.

In India, the President, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha constitute the Parliament. While the tenure of the Lok Sabha is 5 years unless dissolved earlier, the tenure of members of Rajya Sabha is for six years.

While the members of Lok Sabha are directly elected by the people, members of Rajya Sabha are indirectly elected by members of State Legislative Assemblies. Unlike Lok Sabha, it is a permanent body and one-third of its members retire every two years. It is also called the Council of States.

The legislature of different countries are known by different names. The legislature in the USA is called the Congress which consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
