Parliament

A parliament is a legislature, particularly in those countries whose system of government is based on the Westminster system modeled following that of the United Kingdom. The name is resulting from the French parlement, the action of parler (to speak): a parlement is a conversation. The term came to mean a meeting at which such a conversation took place. It acquired its modern meaning as it came to be used for the body of people (in an institutional sense) who would meet to talk about matters of state.

Explain components of computer architecture?

The computer architecture is the conceptual design and basic operational structure of a computer system. It is a blueprint and practical description of requirements (particularly speeds and interconnections) and design implementations for the a variety of parts of a computer — focusing for the most part on the way by which the central processing unit (CPU) performs within and accesses addresses in memory.

It may as well be defined as the science and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to make computers that meet functional, performance and cost goals.
