Chamber of Representatives (France)

[3] On 22 June 1815 the Chamber of Representatives elected three members (Carnot, the duc d'Otrante, and the comte Grenier) of a five-member commission, the Commission de gouvernement, to constitute a new government, and on 23 June 1815 the Chamber of Representatives named Napoleon II as Emperor.

[3] The allied powers of the Seventh Coalition soon occupied Paris, and the chamber capitulated on 3 July.

The reactionary Ultra-royalist delegation that was seated in October 1815 was nicknamed the Chambre introuvable.

The initial constitution, drawn up by this Assembly on 20 May 1873, provided for the re-establishment of Chamber of Representatives, with a Senate serving as the upper house.

However, the final French Constitutional Laws of 1875 passed by it established the Chamber of Deputies as the lower house instead.
