The Italian Parliament is the legislative body of Italian Republic. The Parliament has a perfect bicameral system, composing of the Senate of the Republic (The Upper Chamber), and the Chamber of the Deputies (The Lower Chamber). All laws must be approved by the Parliament. The Constitution establishes the Government of Italy as composed of the Prime Minister (Primo Ministro) and Ministers. The President of Italy appoints the Prime Minister and, on his proposal, the Ministers that form its cabinet. The appointee can be the leader of the majority coalition that won the election, or it can be a person instructed by the President to form a national unity government in times of crisis for the nation. Either way, the government must receive the confidence of both Houses, so the Executive derives its legitimacy from the Parliament, and the great number of political parties forces the Prime Minister to bend to their will if the majority coalition no longer supports the government.
