45. Describe the supremacy of Parliament
Parliamentary sovereignty (also called parliamentary supremacy or legislative supremacy) is a concept in the constitutional law of some parliamentary democracies. It holds that the legislative body has absolute sovereignty, and is supreme over all other government institutions, including executive or judicial bodies. The concept also holds that the legislative body may change or repeal any previous legislation, and so that it is not bound by written law (in some cases, even a constitution) or by precedent.
Parliamentary sovereignty may be contrasted with the doctrines of separation of powers, which limits the legislature's scope often to general law-making, and judicial review, where laws passed by the legislature may be declared invalid in certain circumstances.
Many states have sovereign legislatures, among which are the United Kingdom,[1] Finland,[2] Israel, Netherlands,[2] New Zealand,[2] Sweden,[2] Barbados, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands.
46. Give short information about the House of Commons
The House of Commons is the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which, like the House of Lords (theupper house), meets in the Palace of Westminster.
The House is an elected body consisting of 650 members known as members of parliament (MPs). Members are elected to represent constituencies by first-past-the-post and hold their seats until Parliament is dissolved.
A House of Commons of England evolved at some point in England during the 14th century, becoming the House of Commons of Great Britain after the political union with Scotland in 1707 and in the nineteenth century the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after the political union with Ireland before assuming its current title after independence was given to the Irish Free State in 1922.
Under the Parliament Act 1911, the Lords' power to reject legislation was reduced to a delaying power. The Government is primarily responsible to the House of Commons and the prime minister stays in office only as long as he or she retains the support of a majority of its members.
47. Give short information about the House of Lords
The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the House of Commons, it meets in the Palace of Westminster.[3] Bills can be introduced into either the House of Lords or the House of Commons. Members of the Lords may also take on roles as Government Ministers. The House of Lords has its own support services, separate from the Commons, including the House of Lords Library.
Unlike the elected House of Commons, most new members of the House of Lords are appointed.[4] Membership of the House of Lords is made up of Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal. There are currently 26 Lords Spiritual who sit in the Lords by virtue of their ecclesiastical role in the established Church of England.[5] The Lords Temporal make up the rest of the membership; of these, the majority are life peers who are appointed by the Monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister, or on the advice of the House of Lords Appointments Commission; the rest are hereditary peers.[6]
Membership was once a birthright of all hereditary peers, other than those in the peerage of Ireland. Under the House of Lords Act 1999, the right to membership was restricted to 92 hereditary peers.[7] Since the vast majority of hereditary peerages can only be inherited by males,[8] only two of these 92 are currently women. The number of members is not fixed; as of 28 October 2014 the House of Lords has 789 members (not including 49 who are on leave of absence or who are otherwise disqualified from sitting),[2][9] unlike the House of Commons, which has a 650-seat fixed membership.[2][10]
The House of Lords scrutinises Bills that have been approved by the House of Commons.[11] It regularly reviews and amends Bills from the Commons.[12]While it is unable to prevent Bills passing into law, except in certain limited circumstances,[13] it can delay Bills and force the Commons to reconsider their decisions.[14] In this capacity, the Lords acts as a check on the House of Commons that is independent from the electoral process.[15][16][17] In addition to its role as the upper house, until the establishment of the Supreme Court in 2009, the House of Lords, through the Law Lords, acted as the final court of appeal in the British judicial system.[18]
The Queen's Speech is delivered in the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The House also has a Church of England role, in that Church Measures must be tabled within the House by the Lords Spiritual.
