In seventeenth-century England parliament won legislative power, and as representative government became more widespread in Europe legislatures typically emerged as the seat of popular sovereignty.In parliamentary systems (many of them derived from the British model) the executive is drawn from the legislature, whereas presidential systems follow the principle of separation of powers (see separation n. 1c). Most modern legislatures are bicameral (divided into two houses), the preferred means of incorporating the representation of individual states within the national government (as in the United States or Germany) and of acting as a check on government.
