They call it Parliament. The British Parliament has two Houses: The Commons, so named because it traditionally represented the 'common' citizens, and The Lords, the upper House that used to represent the nobility and the clergy.
Nowadays the Commons represent the whole population. The powers of the Lords have by now been greatly reduced. It is sometimes called a 'reflection' chamber in which laws can be looked at dispassionately. The Lords may send a bill back to the Commons if they have grave objections to it, but if the Commons pass it again, it becomes law.

Why did the british call the second continental congress a den of traitors?
The British referred to the Second Continental Congress as a "den of traitors" because the assembly was seen as a rebellious group that challenged British authority and governance in the American colonies. They viewed the Congress's actions, such as drafting the Declaration of Independence and organizing the Continental Army, as acts of treason against the Crown. This perception reflected the growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, as the Congress sought to assert colonial rights and independence. The term underscored the British belief that the Congress was undermining their rule and inciting rebellion.
