| | When the Union of South Africa was established in 1910, the Parliament was bicameral and consisted of the Senate and the House of Assembly (known in Afrikaans as the Volksraad). | | | In 1994, one of the last pieces of legislation passed by the tricameral parliament was Act 200 of 1994 - the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa - before the first non-racial elections were held on April 27 that year. | | | The National Assembly remained unchanged as the primary legislative chamber, with the President of South Africa being the leader of the largest party in that house. |

| | Parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Parliaments can be contrasted with congresses in the model of the United States. | | | A nation's 'Prime Minister' is almost always the leader of the majority party in the lower house of parliament, but only holds his or her office as long as the "confidence of the house" is maintained. | | | If members of parliament lose faith in the leader for whatever reason, they can often call a vote of no confidence and force the PM to resign. |
