Detailed explanation-1: -The authority of parliament grew under Edward III; it was established that no law could be made, nor any tax levied, without the consent of both Houses and the Sovereign. This development occurred during the reign of Edward III because he was involved in the Hundred Years’ War and needed finances.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1295, Parliament evolved to include nobles and bishops as well as two representatives from each of the counties and towns in England and, since 1282, Wales. This became the model for the composition of all future Parliaments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acts of Parliament Laws made by parliament are called Acts, statutes or legislation. To create new laws a Bill (a draft Act) is debated in parliament. If it is passed by a majority in both houses of parliament it is sent to the governor for formal approval. After approval it becomes an Act.
Detailed explanation-4: -After the 24th Amendment, Parliament in its constituent capacity can not delegate its function of amending the Constitution to another legislature or to itself in its ordinary legislative capacity.
