In its first article, the constitution stated that the sovereignty of Indonesia shall be implemented together with the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Therefore, for two weeks, the meetings of the House of Representatives were held on the upper level of the Hotel des Indes.

The position for the first deputy speaker was contested between two candidates, Albert Mangaratua Tambunan and Johannes Latuharhary, while the position for the second deputy speaker was contested by a single candidate, Arudji Kartawinata.

The meeting was led by the oldest member of the council at that time, Sonda Daeng Mattajang.

The number of members from the components of the United States of Indonesia was based on the population.

The RUSI Commisariat for the State of Pasundan responded by cancelling the membership of the representatives on 14 February 1950.

For example, the Masyumi Party formed a faction on 7 March 1950, consisting of 21 members headed by Soekiman Wirjosandjojo, and the Indonesian National Party formed a faction on 13 March 1950, consisting of 23 members headed by Sujono Hadinoto.
