The Netherlands is a parliamentary democracy. This means that all Dutch people with the right to vote can choose every four years who represent them in parliament. They have the right to vote when they are 18 years old and have Dutch nationality. The elections to the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives) are the basis of democracy.

The members of the Eerste Kamer en Tweede Kamer represent the Dutch voters. They are therefore called the representatives of the people. The two most important tasks of the Tweede Kamer are: making new laws together with the government and checking whether the government is doing its job properly. The Tweede Kamer also plays an important role in policy making. The main task of the Eerste Kamer is to approve or reject bills. In addition, the Senate has the task of monitoring the government.

The Eerste Kamer makes only limited use of the right to control the government. The two Houses together form the Staten-Generaal (States General; Parliament). The government is obliged to inform both Houses. In this way, the Chambers can properly control the government. This information obligation is laid down in the Constitution.
