Parliament is one term used for the supreme legislative council or legislature of a State or, less usually, the local legislature of a province or other large sub-division. Parliaments have also historically been courts of justice, whether serving exclusively in that role, such as the pre-Revolutionary Parlement of Paris, whose sole legislative function, beyond administering justice, was to register royal decrees.
Legislatures may have one (unicameral) or more chambers (bicameral, tricameral, etc). The head of government, or even the head of state, may also be an essential part of the legislature.
Similar English terms for a legislature are Congress and Diet (German, -tag as in Bundestag), as well as Soviet, Storting, Althing among others.
