The United Parliament of the Most Christian Bresdennian Realm,the official name of the Bresdennian parliament, creates the legislation and carries out other duties given by the Great Constitution. The United Parliament is bicameral, made up of The Chamber of Peers and The People's Assembly. The Parliaments earliest session was in 1222 following the year of Bresdennian Independence from the French. In 1437, the Unification of the Realms of 1437 was passed and the Bresdennian Parliament became the Parliament of Greater Bresdenn. This included and combined the governments and parliaments of Bresdenn, Varionae, and The Bresdennique Islands. The current Parliament's first session was in the Winter of 1789 after the Reformation of Government Act of 1789. The nobility, being law bound to counsel the sovereign and retaining much prestige took seniority to the commoner members. In 1791,The Parliament was split into two houses because of infighting and uneffectiveness. The Chamber of Peers serves as the upper house. Prince Michael Sabastian de Caple served as the first Lord Speaker. The People's Assembly was created as the lower. Mr.Calvin Corbaine, a rich merchant from Southern Bresdenn, was elected the first President.
The Bresdennian Legislative Year is split into 2 groups, Winter/Fall Session and the Spring/Summer Session. The sessions are split by the off months Representatives and Peers get. The Spring/Summer Session starts in March until July and Winter/Fall Session begins in September until January. By law, both houses must convene together at minimum of 3 times per month and may be called into special session by the Sovereign on the behest of the Lord Speaker.

The PAO records and files bills, laws, patents, contracts, and historically important document and events via the Parliamentary Archival Office and the Registrar of Bills & Laws. This office supports both houses, The Chamber of Peers and The People's Assembly, with it clerks, aides and resources. The PAO is headed by the Clerk of the United Parliament who
