The States-General (Staten-Generaal) is the parliament of the Netherlands. It consists of two chambers, the most important of which is the directly elected Tweede Kamer (literally "Second Chamber", the lower house). The Eerste Kamer ("First Chamber", upper house, also known as Senate, Dutch Senaat) is elected indirectly by members of provincial legislatures. The meeting rooms of the Staten-Generaal are located at the Binnenhof (Inner Court) in The Hague.
