Answer:

Parliament is the name given to a legislative body- such as that in Great Britain- that is usually led by a Prime Minister.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parliament, in a broad sense, is the legislative, representative and collegial body of a national, sub-national or supranational State; strictly speaking, the parliament is the legislative chamber or assembly, typical of the parliamentary system. In some cases it is also composed of monarchs, or life members. It can also be called "congress", "courts", "assembly", etc.

The parliament can have one or two chambers. Unicameral parliaments, as a rule, are made up of representatives of the people, elected directly or indirectly. Two-chamber parliaments usually add to the people's house of representation, a chamber of representation of subnational territorial entities (provinces, communities, etc), or as in the case of the United Kingdom, a chamber of representation of a caste, the House of Lords.

The powers of parliaments depend on the constitution of each State. In all cases they exercise the legislative power and representation par excellence of the various sectors that make up society, in parliamentary systems they have important executive functions, which sometimes include the election or removal of the head of government, usually called Prime Minister.
