Abstract
In the study of parliamentary structure, sub-objective criteria should be considered, which in practice have given a concrete concept to the legislative matter, and this concept, which has the accompaniment of object and subject, is realized in the form of parliament. This paper examines the formal criteria for the emergence of legislative structure. Because the structure of the legislative system affects both the nature of the law so that it is not produced from the wrong form of the right content and is itself influenced by other components. These components are a set of formal rules that are in place during Nation-State building has played a significant role in every country and can be examined under the three criteria of legal forms of nation-state, cultural diversity and social, political, racial, religious and other minorities. Also, these formal criteria play an important role in the structure of countries' legislation in the form of single-session and two-session systems. An effective way of determining the structure of legislative systems is discussed.
