Parliament
Yes, the English Parliament evolved from the Great Council, which was a gathering of nobles and clergy advising the monarch. Over time, this council began to include commoners, leading to the establishment of a more structured legislative body. By the 13th century, the Great Council's functions transitioned into what we recognize as the Parliament today, with distinct houses representing different social classes. This evolution marked the beginning of a more representative and formal legislative process in England.
