National Assembly




The National Assembly is either a Legislature , or the Lower House of a Bicameral legislature in some countries. The best known National Assembly, and the first legislature to be known by this title, was that established during the French Revolution in 1789 , known as the '' Assemblée Nationale ''. Consequently, the name is particularly common in Francophone countries, but is also found in some Commonwealth countries. In Germany , a Nationalversammlung was elected following the revolutions of 1848-1849 and 1918-1919 , to be replaced by a permanent Parliament ( Reichstag ) later.

It was also the name of the legislature during France 's First Republic and the Consulate , and since 1946 has been the Lower House of the French Parliament , first under the Fourth Republic , and from 1958 , the Fifth Republic .
