House of Lords

Read a random definition: in adversum

A quick definition of House of Lords:

House of Lords: The House of Lords is a part of the British Parliament where important decisions are made. It is made up of people called peers who are chosen to be a part of it. The House of Lords also has a special group of judges who are the final decision makers in most civil cases. They sit in groups of five or seven and are sometimes called Lords.

A more thorough explanation:

The House of Lords is the upper chamber of the British Parliament. It is made up of peers who are appointed by the monarch or elected by other members of the House. The House of Lords has the power to revise and scrutinize legislation passed by the House of Commons, but it cannot veto it.

The House of Lords also has a judicial function. The 11-member judicial committee provides judges who serve as the final court of appeal in most civil cases. In practice, the Lords sit as committees, usually of five but occasionally of seven. Two committees may sit simultaneously.

For example, if a law is passed by the House of Commons, the House of Lords can review it and suggest changes before it becomes law. The judicial committee of the House of Lords can also hear appeals from lower courts and make final decisions on civil cases.

A house of prostitution is a place where people pay for sexual services. It is also known as a brothel or a whorehouse. Prostitution is illegal in many countries, but it is legal in some places, such as parts of Nevada in the United States.

For example, a house of prostitution might be a building where people go to have sex with prostitutes. The prostitutes might work for themselves or for a pimp who manages the business. Customers pay for the services they receive, and the prostitutes keep a portion of the money.

It is important to note that prostitution is often associated with exploitation and human trafficking. Many people who work in the sex industry do so because they have few other options, and they may be forced or coerced into the work. It is important to support efforts to combat human trafficking and provide support for those who have been exploited.
