Abstract

The genesis of the parliamentary institution in Tunisia dates back to the mid 19th century and more specifically to the Tunisian reformist movement period, which has succeeded in establishing the "Supreme Council" which held parliamentary powers in accordance with the constitution of 1861. After the independence, the first National Constituent Assembly adopted an unicameral parliament named “Council of the Nation,” this was consistent with Bourguiba ideology that defended the existence of a Tunisian nation, however, this name was changed to “board deputies” after the constitutional amendment of 1981. Following the establishment of November 7th, 1987 regime, a second parliamentary room, called “Board of Advisers” was implemented. The stated purpose of this parliamentary room is to promote diversity in the parliament. However, it is actually a formal institution in service of the dictatorship regime.
