Note :
The legislature of Great Britain consists of the Lords and Commons ,
with the king or queen ,
whose sanction is necessary to every bill before it becomes a law .
The legislatures of most of the United States consist of two houses or branches ;
but the sanction or consent of the governor is required to give their acts the force of law ,
or a concurrence of two thirds of the two houses after he has refused his sanction and assigned his objections .

1913 Webster ]

In the self -
governing colonies of Great Britain the legislative body usually consists of two chambers ,
the names of the legislature and the chambers varying .
Thus in Australia the Federal Parliament is composed of the Senate and the House of Commons ,
in New Zealand the General Assembly is composed of the Legislative Council and the House of Representatives ,
etc . #
Members of the Storthing are chosen for three years by direct election by manhood suffrage ,
forty -
one being elected from the towns and eighty -
two from the rural districts .
The Storthing on assembling divides into the Lagthing including one fourth and the Odelsthing including three fourths of the total membership of the Storthing .
All new laws are laid first before the Odelsthing .
If the two houses do not agree they vote in joint session ,
a majority of two thirds of those voting being necessary to a decision . [

While theoretically general ,
the suffrage is so classified as often practically to disfranchise those who are not property holders .
