History

1862–1948

Between 1862 and 1948 the lower house was called Assembly of Deputies (). In 1946, the Senate was abolished by a Governmental amendment to the 1923 Constitution, and the Parliament became unicameral.

1948–1989

The Legislative was called Great National Assembly ().

1990–1992

The legislative became bicameral again, and the lower house was called again Assembly of Deputies (), as part of the Constituent Assembly (), elected together with the Senate to form both the legislative body and the body elected to write the new constitution. The assembly was headed by an elected president.

1992–present

After the Constitution was voted, the assembly changed the name in Chamber of Deputies (), headed by a president.
