The Parliament has the power to pass statutes. Statute is the highest form of law other than the constitution and is binding on the entire nation. The Sultan has the power to promulgate laws by granting [[Royal assent|imperial assent]]. The Sultan has not withheld imperial assent since the establishment of the rule of the [[Bedonite dynasty]] in 1985. This is largely because almost all laws are proposed by the executive branch of the government i.e., the [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania]]. In general, the Sultan and the Council tend to agree on legislation because the Sultan appoints the Council and directs the policy agenda of the government.
