The Constituent Assembly (Arabic: الجمعية التأسيسية), was the unicameral parliament of the State of Syria from 1928 until its dissolution in 1929. It was tasked with writing a constitution for an independent Syrian republic. The Assembly was elected on April 10 and 24, 1928, and was the first parliament in Syria's republican history and the second after the Syrian National Congress.
The Constituent Assembly adopted a draft constitution in August 1928, but due to objection from Henri Ponsot, the French High Commissioner, the Assembly was suspended until 1929 when it was finally dissolved.[1][2] The draft was later adopted as the Constitution of the State of Syria of 1930.
