member of a legislature legislators are often elected by the people but they can be appointed or hereditary legislatures may be supra national for example the european parliament national such as the japanese diet sub national as in provinces or local overview edit the political theory of the separation of powers requires legislators to be independent individuals from the members of the executive and the judiciary certain political systems adhere to this principle others do not in the united kingdom and other countries using the westminster system for example the executive is formed almost exclusively from legislators members of the parliament and the executive cabinet itself has delegated legislative power in continental european jurisprudence and legal discussion the legislator le législateur is the abstract entity that has produced the laws when there is room for interpretation the intent of the legislator will be questioned and the court is directed to rule in the direction it judges to best fit the legislative intent which can be difficult in the case of conflicting laws or constitutional provisions terminology edit the local term for a legislator is usually a derivation of the local term for the relevant legislature typical examples include parliament member of parliament assembly member of the assembly legislature member of the legislature congress member of congress chamber of deputies deputy senate senator house of representatives representative the generic term deputy may also be used deriving from the concept that the legislator is deputising for the electorate of their electoral district by country edit this is an incomplete list of terms for a national legislator country title legislature algeria نواب député people s national assembly
