The Parliament Act 1911 was a significant piece of legislation in the United Kingdom that aimed to limit the power of the House of Lords. It allowed the House of Commons to pass certain types of legislation without the Lords' consent if they rejected it twice within a specific timeframe. This act was a response to the growing power of the Commons and the need for reform in the legislative process. The act was part of a broader movement towards democratization in British politics, reflecting the changing attitudes of the public and the rise of the Labour Party. It marked a shift in the balance of power between the two houses of Parliament, reinforcing the importance of the elected Commons in the legislative process.
