Every for years the Senate elects one of their number to be the President of the senate. This officer then acts as liaison between the Senate and Cabinet of Ministers. When the King makes a decree the Prime minister brings it to the senate and the senate then articulates it and gives it proper scope, then returns the language of the decrees to the Prime Minister to present to the King for review. If the language is acceptable the King will give it his seal, if note he will strike out what he does not agree with and give instruction on its correction.
The house of Representatives is the deliberative assembly which represents the voice of the people. By tradition this assembly is made up of publicly elected member of the common people. Also by tradition the King will present all decelerations to the House for deliberation. Though their decision is not binding, the their decision does carry a great degree of weight in the the kings final decision on a Law.
Every 4 years the House of Representatives elects a Speaker whom is the Voice of the House before the King. In most cases the Speaker of the house is also appointed by the King to the Office of Prime minister.
The Judiciary is the lowest branch of government and is made up of two haves The Magistrates and the Order of Lyons.
