The revolutionary period lasted from June 1917, until the full adoption of the People's Constitution in August 1918. It was sparked by the Kaiser's refusal to appoint the leader of the parliamentary left-wing coalition that won a majority in the 1917 federal elections. In 1918, the Kaiser again refused to appoint a left-wing prime minister, instead turning to a conservative and reactionary general, who proved ineffective in contending with the mass protests. In response, the Committees organised a general strike which crippled the economy. Following a failed government violent effort to break the strikes, the Socialist Worker's Party emerged as the leading force and its leader Heinrich Schrader openly began calling for revolution.

On August 1, the Imperial Navy mutinied, which rallied the SWP and its allies. Over the next three days over 350,000 people would march on Rahden, forcing the Imperial Family to flee to Passau, while the government under Prime Minister Wilhelm von Stanheim was caught attempting to escape and killed. Using radio, Heinrich Schrader declared the end of the monarchy and the Hechenreyt dynasty and proclaimed the “Liothidian Democratic People’s Republic.” On August 10, revolutionary militia entered Passau and murdered the Imperial Family. On August 12, the SWP and the subordinate Worker's League formally voted to adopt the People's Charter, an interim constitution, though it formally founded the Liothidian Democratic People's Republic. In the following weeks and months, thousands of aristocrats, business and land owners would be killed in revolutionary violence, known as the [[Überholung]], while the new regime rapidly reformed the state into the [[Ajax|world's]] first socialist republic.

The National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Menghe (Menghean Sinmun: 대멩 사회주의 궁화국 국민 의회, Menghean Gomun: 大孟社會主義共和國國民議會, pr. Dae Meng Sahoejuyi Gonghwaguk Gukmin Yihoe), often abbreviated as National Assembly (국회 / 國會, Gukhoe) is the unicameral legislative body of the Socialist Republic of Menghe. It convenes at the National Assembly Building in Donggyŏng. Each of Menghe's Province-level entities serves as a large multi-member district, with a number of seats proportional to its population. The total number of seats is fixed at 278, with the Chairman of the Supreme Council casting a tie-breaking vote in the event of a deadlock. Elections for the National Assembly are held every five years on July 14th, with the most recent election taking place in 2019. Candidates are elected from closed party lists, and each district's seats are allocated on the basis of party-list proportional representation. Until recently, only the three parties in the regime-sanctioned UFNR coalition were permitted to run in elections, a rule which guaranteed that even with competitive voting the Menghean Socialist Party would maintain full control of the Assembly. This rule was lifted in 2019, when opposition candidates were allowed to run for the first time under a unified "Independent" party list. (See more...)
