Abstract

The conclusions of so called St. Nicholas' Committee (convened on December 6th, 1868 -- on St. Nicholas' Day, with task to prepare the new constitution) concerning bicameral structure of National Assembly were presented in this paper. The conclusions of the Committee regarding the structure of National Assembly did not serve as a model for the provisions of the Constitution of the Principality of Serbia of 1869 (so called „Regency Constitution“). Although the Constitution of 1869 did not introduce Senate, one third of the deputies of Assembly were appointed by knez. According to its provisions, those appointed deputies were, in some way, a substitute for the upper house of the legislature, envisaged by members of St. Nicholas' Committee. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
