		The British Parliament is often called the "Mother of Parliaments," as the legislative bodies of many nations—most notably, those of the members of the Commonwealth—are modelled on it.
		Thus, each Parliament is separately numbered, the present Parliament being the Fifty-Fourth Parliament of the United Kingdom (that is to say, the fifty-fourth Parliament summoned since the formation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801).
		Under the Parliament Act, if the House of Commons pass a public bill in two successive sessions, and the House of Lords rejects them both times, then the Commons may direct that the bill be presented to the Sovereign for his or her Assent, disregarding the rejection of the Bill in the House of Lords.

		A parliament is a legislative body, especially in those countries whose system of government is based on the Westminster system derived from that of the United Kingdom.
		In the United Kingdom, Parliament consists of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Monarch, although the role of the Queen as part of the Parliament is generally omitted by non-legal commentators.
		In a similar fashion, the Australian Parliament consists of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Governor-General as (nominally) the Monarch's representative (though in practice the Governor-General acts independently of the Monarch), although the Australian Senate is modelled after the United States Senate, not the House of Lords.

	Parliament \| Houses of Parliament
		The present two-chamber system began in the 14th Century in England: the House of Lords (the upper house) and the House of Commons (the lower house) sit separately and are constituted on entirely different principles.
		Following the restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, the role of parliament was enhanced by the events of 1688-89 (the 'Glorious Revolution') and the passage of the Bill of Rights which established the authority of Parliament over the King, and enshrined in law the principle of freedom of speech in parliamentary debates.
		The result was the Parliament Act of 1911, which removed from the House of Lords the power to veto a bill, except one to prolong the lifetime of a parliament.

		The creation of a Scottish Parliament and Executive, and a Welsh Assembly, and the re-establishment of a devolved assembly and government in Northern Ireland in 1999 set the United Kingdom on a path away from the unitary state model which had up until then increasingly dominated its government.
		Here, the powers of the various nations would be constitutionally entrenched, the supremacy of Parliament limited by a written constitution, and the relations between the new nations and the centre regulated in part by some form of constitutional court.
		With the growing awareness that England is part of the United Kingdom, not the whole of it, English identity is slowly being uncovered.
