Parliament members are elected representatives who serve in a country's legislative body, known as Parliament. Their primary role is to create, debate, and pass laws that govern the nation. Members often represent specific regions or constituencies, ensuring that the interests of their constituents are voiced in the legislative process. In many countries, such as the United Kingdom or Canada, Parliament members are part of two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the UK, or the House of Commons and the Senate in Canada. Each house has distinct powers and responsibilities, contributing to the overall functioning of the government.
