		The House of Commons was created to serve as the political outlet for this "commons" class, while the elite estates were represented in the House of Lords.
		The House of Commons was thus elected by the people while members of the upper house were appointed on the basis of various forms of elite "merit", such as wealth, family, or prestige.
