The English Parliament is two houses of government that makes the laws. They are the house of lords and the house of commons. Each house has the responsibility for initiating certain things and both houses must approve them before they can be passed on and made into law.
The US has Congress has two houses of government that make the laws. They are the Senate and the House of Representatives.Each house once again has the responsibility for initiating certain things and both houses must approve them before they can be passed on to the President for signature to be enacted into law.
The English system of government was the basic framework that our government was founded upon. We made some changes to exclude titles of royalty, but having two houses of congress and the judicial decisions based to a large extent upon precedent is a carry over from England.

Congress, because parliament is a branch of British Government that makes laws, and Congress is the part of U.S government that makes laws.
