Composition

Composed of representatives who represent a number of citizens, they are elected by universal suffrage for a term of five years, with a maximum of six terms. The number of citizens each representatives represents is decided based on population growth, with the General Assembly having a fixed number of representatives, but this has been increased several times by the electoral commission over time.

Politic

Unlike the Congress which is based on the caste assignment of each elected representative, the General Assembly is much more based on parties since its goal is much more to represent the people as a whole than the castes. This has led, throughout the history of the General Assembly, to the creation, disappearance or merger of multiple political parties to form those currently present.

Public Agenda

More generally, this institution has always been seen as an organization independent of the caste system which must represent the people above all.
