Before the Marshall Islands become an independent state (1986), the Marshallese decided to have their own constitutional law in 1966.
This Convention drafted the Constitution of 1979, having into consideration a future independence status.
The legislature is a bicameral institution, consisting of the Council of Iroij (Traditional High Chiefs) and the elected Nitijeļā (Parliament).
The Nitijeļā is the law-making branch of the legislature and consists of 33 elected members, every four years.
