The House of Representatives ((タイ語:สภาผู้แทนราษฎร); ) is the lower house of the National Assembly of Thailand, the legislative branch of the Thai government. The system of government of Thailand is that of a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. The system of the Thai legislative branch was modeled after the Westminster system. The House of Representatives has 500 members: 375 members are democratically elected through single constituency elections, while the other 125 are appointed accordingly through party-list proportional representation. The roles and powers of the House of Representatives have been enshrined in the Constitution of 2007. ==History== The House of Representatives was established after the Revolution of 1932, when the Khana Ratsadon (the "People’s Party"), overthrew the absolute monarchy and replaced it with the present system of constitutional monarchy. When King Prajadhipok signed the temporary constitution of 1932, he established the first legislative assembly in Thailand, It was an entirely royally-appointed chamber. The first session of the People’s Assembly was held on June 28, 1932, in the Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall. From then on, the House existed in various forms until the present form in 2007: ''See more at: Constitutions of Thailand'' *1946- The 1946 constitution established a fully elected House of Representatives. *1952- Establishment of the unicameral National Assembly with 123 members. *1959- The House was banned by Sarit Dhanarajata. *1968- The House was re-established with 219 members. *1972- The House was banned by Thanom Kittikachorn. *1974- Establishment of the House of Representatives. *1976- Establishment of a unicameral National Assembly with 360 royally-appointed members. *1978- Return of an elected House with 301 members. *1991- Establishment of a unicameral National Assembly with 292 appointed members. *1997- Establishment of a 500-member House of Representatives, 400 directly elected with 100 elected through proportional representation. *2006- Following the coup, an interim charter was signed establishing a 250-member National Legislative Assembly. *2007–Present system established, by referendum under the 2007 Constitution of Thailand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of Representatives (Thailand)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
