Answer:
Saudi Arabia’s legislature is called as Consultative Assembly
Step-by-step explanation:
- Due to the government’s status as absolute monarchy, the legislature is known as Consultative Assembly (Majlis ash-Shura) which can propose laws but cannot perform the function of primary legislation.
- The Consultative Assembly consists of 150 members of which 30 are women since 2013, all of whom are appointed by the King.
- The assembly have power to 'interpret laws' and 'examine annual reports' referred by state ministers and agencies.
- It can also review country’s annual budget, and can call in 'ministers' for questioning if necessary.
