The National Assembly was created with the current Constitution of Caphiria as a replacement for the earlier ''plebeian assembly'', which formed in the earliest days of [[Caphiria]] as the representative bodies of each of the original tribes which settled Caphiria. As each tribe had one vote, the body was initially created as a popular body but fell into obsolescence as tribal leaders were subverted first by the Senate and then by the first [[Imperator|Imperators]]. With the establishment of the Great Landsmeet in [[Urcea]] during the medieval period, the resurrection of the plebeian assembly was a popular idea which receded following the '''XXXX CIVIL WAR XXXX'''. The plebeian assembly last fully met in 1640, and was replaced by the directly representative National Assembly in the 19th century. | The National Assembly was created with the current Constitution of Caphiria as a replacement for the earlier ''plebeian assembly'', which formed in the earliest days of [[Caphiria]] as the representative bodies of each of the original tribes which settled Caphiria.
