    'to talk'. A parliament is a group of elected representatives with the power
    to make laws. The fundamental concepts of meeting, representation and
    legislation - law-making - go back thousands of years.

    In modern politics and history, a parliament is a legislative body of
    government. Generally, a modern parliament has three functions:

    of the Budget, ventilation of public grievances and discussing various

    relations. The distribution of powers between the Union and the States,
    followed in the Constitution, emphasizes in many ways the general
    predominance of Parliament in the legislative field. A. The Parliament is

    Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, the Chief Election
    Commissioner and the Comptroller and Auditor General by the procedure
