The New Prussian Imperial Parliament is the bicameral legislature in the Empire of New Prussia. As the legislative branch, it is responsible for the discussion, proposing and enactment of laws, as well as discussing various issues.

History

The Imperial Parliament was created on 17 July 2022. The Parliament succeeded the New Prussian Assembly which has been disbanded by the New Prussian Imperial Parliament via Imperial Decree XV. Currently the Imperial Parliament allows citizens to be members of both houses. The Parliament is authorized to set the number and lengths of governmental/parliamentary terms due to the passing of the second Amendment to the New Prussian Constitution, and the terms was reduced from three to two terms per year and the length of term being increased from four to six months.
