Question of the Month: Answer

Question:

What is the world’s oldest legislative body?

Answer:

The oldest recorded legislative body is the Icelandic Althing, founded in 930 AD. This body, which originally comprised 39 local chieftains at Thingvellir, was abolished in 1800 but was restored by Denmark to a consultative status in 1843 and a legislative status in 1874. It is often cited as the oldest existing parliament.
