*In the self-governing colonies of Great Britain the legislative
body usually consists of two chambers, the names of the
legislature and the chambers varying. Thus in Australia the
Federal Parliament is composed of the Senate and the House of
Commons, in New Zealand the General Assembly is composed of the
Legislative Council and the House of Representatives, etc.
#Members of the Storthing are chosen for three years by direct
election by manhood suffrage, forty-one being elected from the
towns and eighty-two from the rural districts. The Storthing on
assembling divides into the Lagthing including one fourth and
the Odelsthing including three fourths of the total membership
of the Storthing. All new laws are laid first before the
Odelsthing. If the two houses do not agree they vote in joint
session, a majority of two thirds of those voting being
necessary to a decision. [sect] While theoretically general, the
suffrage is so classified as often practically to disfranchise
those who are not property holders. Leg-of-mutton
