Pentacameralism

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Pentacameralism is the practice of having five legislative or parliamentary chambers. It is contrasted with unicameralism, bicameralism, the uncommon tricameralism and extremely rare tetracameralism.

The Federal Assembly of Yugoslavia was originally pentacameral. After Yugoslavia adopted a new constitution, its legislature was restructured into four chambers each representing the various sectors of Yugoslav society with an additional chamber representing the general population.[1][2] The Federal Assembly was the only pentacameral legislature on the planet. After a constitutional amendment transformed the Federal Assembly into a hexacameral legislature,[3][4] Yugoslavia adopted yet another constitution, abolishing the Federal Assembly and replacing it with a bicameral legislature.[5]
