If this answer doesn’t fulfill all of your questions, or it doesn’t have the exact information you are looking for, I apologize. But, I will try to help you to my best ability! <3</h3><h3 /><h2>Answer:</h2><h3>The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) protects the human rights of people in countries that belong to the Council of Europe. All 47 Member States of the Council, including the UK, have signed the Convention. Its full title is the 'Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms'.</h3><h3>1. Every citizen of the Union has the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. </h3><h3>2. Freedom of movement and residence may be granted, in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community, to nationals of third countries legally resident in the territory of a Member State. There are three political institutions which hold the executive and legislative power of the Union. The Council of the European Union represents governments, the Parliament represents citizens and the Commission represents the European interest. The EU is governed by the principle of representative democracy, with citizens directly represented at Union level in the European Parliament and Member States represented in the European Council and the Council of the EU. Citizens can also submit complaints and enquiries concerning the application of EU law.</h3><h2></h2><h3>Again, hope this helps! Good luck! :D</h3><h3></h3><h3>~!+~!+~!+!+~!+~!+~!+~+!+~+!+~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+~!+~+!+~+!~+!+~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+~!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~</h3><h3></h3>
