It served as a balancing power to the supreme authority of the sovereign. Since then, significant reforms have taken place that have provided Parliament with significantly more political influence than its original counterpart.

History
Origins
The Unified States of Cacerta was founded on 3 January 1871 following extensive negotiations between the five primary factions and the resulting merger of the Kingdom of Cacerta, Lombardo Matriarchy, Commonwealth of Apullia Federation of South Cacerta under the Act of Unification of the Cacertian Isles. Cacerta’s Parliament was founded as a result of the Act which required a legislative body to represent the five regions of the newly founded Kingdom equally.
Unified States of Cacerta
In its original form, the House Assembly of the Parliament of Cacerta was far superior in its legislative power to the Common Assembly despite possessing an equal amount of representative members. As a result, much of the early legislation passed in the first years of a unified Cacertian Archipelago were heavily swayed in the favor of the landowning elite class. King Victor had intentions of reforming the Parliamentary system in Cacerta following its first session in 1871, but was unable to enact any of his reforms prior to his death.

Kingdom of Cacerta
Composition and Powers
The legislative authority of Cacertian Parliament consists of three main parts: the Monarch, House Assembly, and Common Assembly. No individual is capable of being a member of both Assemblies and members of the House Assembly are required to pass a vocational panel or be nominated by said panel in order to be elected.
For any Bills to become law in the Kingdom, they are required to have the Monarch's Royal Assent following deliberation and discussion regarding advantages and disadvantages. While a vote is required for Bills to pass, a Cacertian Monarch possesses the power to veto a vote entirely, though this power has never been used. The Monarch maintains a number of executive powers that do not depend on the Parliament which include the ability to declare war, award honors, and appoint officers and other civil servants. This is often accomplished based on the advice of the Prime Minister and Royal House Council, although this is not always the case.
State Opening
The State Opening of the Cacertian Parliament is held every year following the close of Autunno Racculto in early December. It marks the beginning of each primary session of Parliament regarding the state of the Kingdom over the past year. The State Opening is started with speeches from both Assembly Speakers as well as one prepared by the ruling monarch. It is primarily ceremonial as no issues are discussed in depth during the State Opening and are not brought up again until after its conclusion.
