Legislative chamber

The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is the only country documented as having a pentacameral (later hexacameral) legislature.

In a bicameral legislature, the two bodies are often referred to as an upper and a lower house, where the latter is often regarded as more particularly the representatives of the people.

In most countries the lower house also has sole or predominant control over matters to do with finance and taxation.

In the United Kingdom, either chamber may opt to take some business such as detailed consideration of a Bill on the Floor of the House instead of in Committee.

[2] The building that houses the Chambers of a Parliament is usually equipped with an internal police[3] and in some, the public force is not allowed access without authorisation.
