The Fourth National Assembly followed on from the Third National Assembly at Troezen (1827), which had adopted a new constitution selected Ioannis Kapodistrias as Governor of Greece with extensive powers for a seven-year term. The Assembly counted 236 representatives from all over Greece (including territories, such as Crete or Macedonia, that were still under Ottoman control), for the first time elected via suffrage.

The Assembly adopted a series of reforms suggested by Kapodistrias, most notably:

  • the replacement of the Panellinion advisory council with a 27-member Senate
  • the adoption of the phoenix as the country's currency

Members of the National Assembly

gollark: But what's the actual *benefit* of doing so?
gollark: If it doesn't, it would probably have problems.
gollark: User code presumably knows whether what it has is a UDP socket, TCP socket, or file.
gollark: Are syscall numbers scarce somehow?
gollark: I don't see the value in packing multiple different things into one syscall because the arguments happen to be the same when the kernel will have to check and dispatch to different things *anyway*, and user code also has to use a specific known form anyway.
