Parliament

Parliament is a group of people who come together to make the rules and laws for a country and ensure the government does its job properly. In Jamaica, Parliament has two parts: the House of Representatives, where members are chosen by the people during elections, and the Senate, where members are selected by leaders to give advice and make decisions. These two groups work together to talk about important issues, like improving schools, building hospitals, or protecting the environment. Around the world, parliaments do similar things, like deciding how money is spent or creating laws to keep people safe. Parliament is like a big meeting room where leaders debate and decide what’s best for everyone, making sure the country runs fairly and smoothly.
