In most legislative bodies, including Congress a conference committee occurs when each house has passed their version of a particular bill. The committee of conference is conv â¦ ened to come up with a compromise that both houses can agree on and approve.
Manor house A manor house is a country house that historically formed the administrative centre of a manor, the lowest unit of territorial organisation in the feudal system in Europe. The term is applied to country houses that belonged to the gentry and other grand stately homes.
Feudalism â the manor was the chief non-church political entity. The manor (large estate), headed by a nobleman, had absolute authority over the serfs, (peasants) who worked the land. Lords of manors were vassals, or subjects, of a king. The kingâs knights protected the lords and their land. Serfs (servants) owed allegiance to their lord.
