Képviselházak

Képviselházak, a Hungarian term, translates to "House of Representatives" or "Chamber of Deputies" in English. It refers to a legislative body, typically one chamber within a bicameral parliament or the sole chamber in a unicameral system. The primary function of a képviselőház is to represent the will of the people through elected representatives who debate, amend, and vote on legislation.

In Hungary's historical parliamentary systems, a képviselőház has been a recurring feature. The composition and powers of this chamber have varied throughout different periods. Generally, members of the képviselőház are elected for fixed terms, and their mandate is to serve the interests of their constituents and the nation.

The legislative process within a képviselőház involves proposals for new laws, which are then discussed, potentially modified through amendments, and put to a vote. A successful vote typically signifies the passage of a bill, which may then proceed to another chamber for review or directly to the head of state for enactment. The képviselőház also plays a crucial role in oversight, holding the government accountable through various mechanisms such as questioning ministers and conducting investigations. The specific powers and responsibilities are defined by the country's constitution and relevant laws.
