The unicameral National Assembly (Cruzese: Assembleia Nacional) is the legislative body of the Constitutional State of the Andorinhões.
History
The first legislative body to have existed in the Andorinhões are the Estates General called approximately every 6 years by the Order of the Holy Cross. The meetings were mostly used to elect the people on the Sovereign Council and the Chancellor of the Sovereign Land. Thus, there is debate on its official status as a legislative body.
The first official legislative body came at the end of the Lúpulo Revolution with the proclamation of the Martletan Republic. The Parliament of Martlet was a bicameral legislature with the Legislative Assembly being elected and the nominated Legislative Council. The Parliament was established in Colheitas.
The Silent Revolution brought the introduction of socialism principles in the Andorinhões and the proclamation of the Socialist Republic of the Martlets Islands. The biggest change was the abolition of the upper house and the decision to move the legislative body from Colheitas to São João. For these reasons a new building was commissioned and was inaugurated in 1972. It operated for a year before it was renamed the General Assembly of the People.
The coup d'État by Octávio Forte proclaimed the People's Republic of the Andoringas Islands and elections were abolished. The General Assembly of the People remained but as a nominated institution.
With the reintroduction of democracy in 1991, a new Constitution was drafted which settled on the name National Assembly and introduced the actual legislative body.
