- Parliamentary Law Making
- House of commons
- house of lords
- royal assent
- Monarchs formal agreement - his/her signature and royal stamp
- The last monarch to refuse a bill was = queen ann scottish militia bill 1707
- The HOC process is repeated
- Amendments = if the HOL makes amendments it has to be sent back to the HOC - if HOC disagree it is sent back to HOL - this is called PINGPONG
- if the 2 houses can't make an agreement, the HOC can make a bill an act without the HOL agree by using = S2 Parliament act 1911 as amended by parliament act 1949
- royal assent
- second stage = the bill is discussed - aims and principle of the bill are debated - voted onto next stage by MPs
- first stage = government minster introduces bill - no discussion - no vote- for MPS to consider the bill
- committee stage = discussed by a standing committee made up of 18 to 50 MPs - wording is reviewed in detail
- Report stage = any amendments made at the committee stage are reported back to the HOC - amendments are voted on
- Third reading = further debate on the wording - principles are not discussed - vote is taken - stage only takes place if 6 MPs request it
- house of lords
- Parliamentary Sovereignty
- FACTOR 2 Parliament can make any law it wants even if the general public disagree.
- FACTOR 3 no body or person has the right to override the legislation of parliament
- FACTOR 1 The doctrine requires that no parliament bind its successors = parliament cannot make laws that restrict future law making

- LIMITATION = EU law takes priority over English law e.eg factorame
- LIMITATION = human rights act 1998
- LIMITATION = public opinion = e.g. council tax law ( the public will not re-elect the MPs)
- LIMITATION = devolution = scotland act 1998 and wales act 1998 means parliament has lost supremacy in these areas
- LIMITATION = public opinion = e.g. council tax law ( the public will not re-elect the MPs)
