Line 9:
Until 1953, the [[Rigsdag]] in [[Denmark]] was similarly divided into the "[[Folketing]]" and "[[Landsting]]", but has since been a [[unicameral]] legislature. The same goes with [[Sweden]] and its "[[Riksdag]]" until 1971. The [[Storting|Norwegian parliament]] (''Storting'') was officially divided in two chambers 1814–2009, but functioned as a single chamber in practice, a situation called [[Odelsting#Qualified unicameralism|Qualified unicameralism]].
<sub>Subscript text</sub>== Floor and committee ==
The ''[[Floor (legislative)|floor]]'' is the name for the full assembly, and a ''[[committee]]'' is a small deliberative assembly that is usually subordinate to the floor. In the United Kingdom, either chamber may opt to take some business such as detailed consideration of a [[Bill (law)|Bill]] on the Floor of the House instead of in Committee.<ref>UK Parliament Glossary, http://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/floor-of-the-house/, accessed 1 July 2015</ref>
