Summary/Abstract: The Media, as well as constitutional law and political science discourse mainly refer to Parliament as an institution whose core competence is legislative. This, of course, is not wrong, since in the traditional division into the three branches of government, the National Assembly is primarily identified as the holder of the legislature. We often hear that parliaments, in addition to this core function, also perform a representative and electoral function. This is not wrong either, but rather completes the picture and gives a better overview of the work and responsibilities of the institution.
