Related Information1) United Kingdom United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy in northwestern Europe, officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. England is the largest and most populous division of the island of Great Britain, making up the south and east. Wales is on the west and Scotland is to the north. Northern Ireland is located in the northeast corner of Ireland, the second largest island in the British Isles. The capital of the United Kingdom is the city of London, situated near the southeastern tip of England.2) The Houses of Parliament There are two Houses in the Parliament-the House of Lords and the House of Commons, where the elected members of Parliament meet. The words Parliament and the House of Commons indicate what its function was in the past and what it is still today. Its a place for debates between, on the one hand, the government (used to be the king) and on the other hand, the representatives of the communities: the communes, the commons, into which the country was divided. They used to come together to have a dialogue. The king wanted their support and their taxes and they wanted the king to follow their policies and to redress any local grievances. Thats what it was in the past, centuries ago and thats what it still is today: a place for debates.IV.
