Many [[parliament]]s or other [[legislature]]s consist of [[deliberative assembly]] in two {{anchor|Legislative Chambers}}'''legislative chambers''' <ref>[http://www.ncsl.org/legislatures-elections/legislatures/legislative-organization-and-procedures-overview.aspx Legislative Organization & Procedures].

Retrieved June 29, 2013.</ref> (or '''houses'''): an [[election|elected]] [[lower house]], and an [[upper house]] or [[Senate]] which may be appointed or elected by a different mechanism from the lower house. This style of two houses is called [[bicameralism|bicameral]]. Legislatures with only one house are known as [[unicameralism|unicameral]].
== Bicameralism ==
The lower house is almost always the originator of [[legislation]], and the upper house is the body that offers the "second look" and decides whether to [[veto]] or approve the [[Bill (proposed law)|bill]]s. In the [[United Kingdom]] legislation can be originated in either house, but the lower house can ultimately prevail if the two houses repeatedly disagree. In most countries the lower house, regarded as more particularly the representatives of the people, has sole or predominant control over matters to do with [[finance]] and [[taxation]].
Line 16 ⟶ 18:
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>
