The Consultative Assembly (French: Assemblée Consultative) of Luxembourg was established in 1945 towards the end of World War II, when it became clear that the Chamber of Deputies could not fulfill its constitutional role.
The point of the Consultative Assembly was to exercise those rights accorded to the Chamber by the constitution and laws, with the exception of legislative powers.
[1] After World War II ended in Luxembourg on 10 September 1944, a session of the Chamber was called for 6 December 1944.
At the urging of the Unio'n, the umbrella organisation of the Resistance, a Consultative Assembly was established by Grand-Ducal decree on 22 February 1945, in order for the Liberation Government to be advised in its duties.
It started its activities just days after the last Luxembourgish villages, near Echternach, had been liberated.
