Answer 2

It depends on the government of your particular nation or political unit as to why parliament would be called the legislative branch.

Some nations such as The United States, France, and others use a government divided into three distinct parts. The United States uses a President for the chief executive to run the government. Congress passes the laws and approves financing. And the courts take care of trials and legal matters. Sometimes in that type of system the branch that passes the laws is called Parliament.

In the British System, Parliament appoints the government, passes the legislation, and votes on financial matters. So, in England Parliament serves as both the legislative branch and executive branch. It both passes legislation and supervises the government.
