Parliamentary sovereignty (also called parliamentary supremacy or legislative supremacy) is a concept in the constitutional law of some parliamentary democracies. In the concept of parliamentary sovereignty, a legislative body has absolute sovereignty, meaning it is supreme to all other government institutions—including any executive (government) or judicial bodies. The concept also holds that the legislative body may change or repeal any previous legislation, and so that it is not bound by precedent. Parliamentary sovereignty is to be contrasted with the concept of popular sovereignty, where the people are sovereign. Localities in which the legislature is sovereign are Finland, Israel, the United Kingdom,New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands, among other nations.
