United Kingdom Parliament gathers the members of the House of Commons and House of Lords, and other British politicians, represented in this subcategory, whose legislative work shaped the statute law of the United Kingdom. Distinct from the Common Law Founders and Commentators grouped in this atlas's own separate subcategory, whose influence came through judicial decisions and legal treatises, this group's members shaped English and British law directly through Parliament's own legislative process.
