Assignment Instructions/ Description
Legislatures are important in both democratic and authoritarian political systems, passing legislation, providing representation for regions, districts, or people, and providing an avenue for elite recruitment. Indeed, even the most authoritarian states retain legislatures even if those legislatures have little real political authority. Using Iran and/or Russia as an example, describe how a legislature can be controlled by an authoritarian regime. Then explain why authoritarian political systems-like Iran and Russia-might choose to retain a legislature.
