The National Assembly, or the House of Representatives, is the main embodiment of democratic politics in the organizational form of political power. In the late Qing Dynasty, with the efforts of the government and the opposition, a comprehensive reform plan was basically formed to prepare for the establishment of a constitution. The nature, authority, and relationship between the National Assembly and the responsible cabinet were also clearly defined in order to move towards this goal and embody the basic spirit of the constitution. This book objectively describes this major historical process with rich historical materials, and is of high readability and historical value.
