Parliament is the law-making body of a government that uses the 'parliamentary system'. The word 'parliament' comes from the French word parlement, from parler, to talk. The idea of meeting together to discuss and decide matters has very ancient origins. Many countries use a parliamentary system. In the UK the system goes back hundreds of years, at least as far back as the 13th century, and probably much further. This form of rulership has no precise founding date, and it is therefore difficult to attribute its creation to any particular individual or group of persons.
