Britain’s Parliament at Work: Order, Order!

Here is a guided tour of the Parliament which has served as the model for legislatures all over the world, including, of course, the U.S. and Canada. The program demonstrates step-by-step how a Government proposal becomes the law of the land; it explains how Members of Parliament perform their function as "watchdogs of the people" and why they never address one another by name. Because of Parliament’s traditions and pageantry, the program is colorful and fascinating as well as intellectually stimulating and important. (54 minutes)
