The British political system is also made up of an executive, legislative and judicial branch which runs throughout the Westminster Parliament.
All government ministers are members of the legislative branch, also reflective of the American political system.
The system is bicameral, meaning Lords as the upper house and Commons as the lower.
The House of Commons has the most authority above all in British politics, it consists of 650 seats with each person representing a different part of the United Kingdom - This is called a constituency.
In historical texts, the phrase is often used to denote aspirations or norms of behavior, separate from a functioning democracy, including egalitarianism, self-government, self-determination and freedom of conscience.
