Parliament is the country's highest legislative body, whose functions include the adoption of new laws and bringing existing ones in line with today's conditions. Moreover, in Russia, as in many other countries, there are two houses of parliament - the lower and upper.
Parliament is the legislative branch of government, which, along with the executive and judicial branches, serves as the basis for the state’s legal system. At the same time, there are two main versions of parliaments in the world: unicameral and bicameral.
Unicameral parliament
From the point of view of organizing the legislative process, a unicameral parliament is a simpler model: in this case, it consists of one unit, called the chamber, whose functions include the development and adoption of bills. Thus, the entire legislative power is concentrated in the hands of one authority. This version of the parliamentary system is usually characteristic of small states. For example, currently unicameral parliaments operate in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Finland, Estonia and other countries.
