The "House of Peers" was a component of the British Parliament, known for its role in the legislative process. It consisted of appointed members, including nobles and bishops, who reviewed and suggested amendments to legislation proposed by the elected House of Commons. This house played a significant role in shaping laws and policies in the United Kingdom. In 1911, the Parliament Act reduced the power of the House of Peers, limiting its ability to block legislation. Eventually, the House of Peers was replaced by the House of Lords, which continues to serve as the upper chamber of Parliament, maintaining a similar function in the legislative process.
