History

The First Parliament of the Kingdom of Ahrana was created in 1025 by Queen Ann of Mishia when she created the first laws for a United Kingdom that was in use till the fall of the First Kingdom. The Parliament since the creation in 1025 was bicameral legislature in the style of what Queen Ann of Mishia called the Bench Style, this form was used till the fall of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana. The Chambers of the early Parliament were the Chamber of Nobility and the Chamber of the Estates both acted as a secondary confirmation for the Monarch and passed all Royal Laws and Decrees into Law without debate as was their reasonability. The First Parliament held no real power and the same would go for the Parliament created under the beginning of the Second United Kingdom.

In 1972, the King of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana, King Gustov XVI, relinquished huge amount authority to the Parliament of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana thus granting the Legislature for the first time the ability to create a Government in the Name of the Monarch that was free to operate separately and govern the Kingdom as outlined in the New Constitution. This would continue to be the case in the future as the King would devolve more authority to the Legislature and the Executive Government making the Monarch a mere Ceremonial Figurehead that still retained some Authority but not like it was before.
