Országgyűlés
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the modern Legislature of Hungary, see National Assembly of Hungary.
From 1867 to 1918, Országgyűlés (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈorsaːɡɟyːleːʃ]; "National Assembly") was the name of the bicameral parliament of the Kingdom of Hungary (Transleithania) during the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867–1918), replacing the earlier Hungarian Diet.
The legislative power was vested in this parliament, consisting of two houses: an upper house titled the Főrendiház ([ˈføːrɛndihaːz], House of Magnates), and a lower house titled the Képviselőház ([ˈkeːpviʃɛløːhaːz], House of Representatives).[1] From 1902 the Országgyűlés met at the Hungarian Parliament Building on the Danube in Budapest.
