What part of the British government passed the acts?
The British gov't works like Canada's. Acts and bills originate in the House of Commons, where they are then sent to the Senate. The senate acts as "a sober second thought" and advises changes which may need to be made. If there are no issues, then the bill is forwarded to the Queen who has the final say. She then signs the bill, and it becomes a law.
Is the senate the upper house or lower house?
The lower house is usually the House of Representatives. When a bill is first introduced, read by everyone in the house and placed on the agenda for the next session, the bill is then debated, scrutinized and requesting for amendments in the lower house. When the bill is accepted through the House of Representatives (lower house), the bill is then passed on to the upper house (Senate House) and further debated upon. If the majority of seats in the Senate House belongs to the Government Party, the bill can be easily passed through. If the majority of seats belongs to the Opposition, the passing of the bill might get complicated. The debating of passing the bill is pursued and voted upon. If the bill needs amendments, it'll be passed back to the lower house and the entire process is repeated until the bill is passed to both the houses (bicameral legislature) Easy to say, the lower house is where the Prime Minister lives and where most the heat begins, and the upper house has the authority to refuse the bill and knock it back.
Who approves a bill before the president signs it?
A bill goes to the house of representatives (435 people), is the majority of them say yes then the bill moves onto the Senate (100 people). If the majority of the Senate says yes. (If there is a tie then the Vice President votes on the bill breaking the tie.)Then the bill goes to the President. If the President gets the law and never says anything for ten days the bill automatically becomes a 'pocket veto' and it can try this process of becoming a law again and again. If the President says no then the bill automatically becomes a 'veto' and can try the process of becoming a law as many times as it wants.BUT when a law become a veto it has the chance to 'override' the president (if over half of the House of Representatives say yes then it moves to the Senate- If over half of the senate say yes then the law can skip past the Presidents answer and it automatically becomes a law.)[BILL]-[SENATE]-[PRESIDENT]-[LAW]+(OVERRIDE)

How do you know that bill is originated by the congress or president?
Bills can be passed into law only by the congress; the president can not create any bills. The President could write a proposed bill and get some member of Congress to introduce it and if this happens, you might say the president originated a bill. However, no bill of any importance goes through Congress without substantial changes and usually the House and Senate produce different versions of the bill which must be rectified into one. If the president said before hand that he was going to push certain legislation and if he makes a strong effort to twist arms and spend political capital to get it passed, you might give him credit for originating it.
