Great Britain History: Parliament
I'd like to know if I have understood the British Parliament (I'm talking from 5th to 19th centuries):
The Parliament was divided into the Lords and the House of Commons. The Lords were an elite, while the members of the Commons were elected (were the Lords elected? ). (My book doesn't explain the composition of the Parliament, that's what I can extract ). Thanks. |

Do you mean that nowadays democracy doesn't exist yet in that institution?, that they are still inheriting the seat? I didn't know it.
But I'm not surprised, I have a king in my country (por obra y gracia de Dios ). |

Yes, still today, although there have been many reforms, there are still some lords in the Lords who have inherited their seats. AND BISHOPS. It is a DISGRACE . On the other hand, the Lords have very little political power.
