The Constazione Repubblicana is the lower house of the bicameral Pacitalian parliament and, with the Senato Repubblicana, one of two deliberative bodies of the country's legislative branch.
The word constazione does not have a direct translation to English. It is likely a cognate of an occidental Latin word, constata, roughly meaning "to find" or "to observe". In modern Pacitalian, the word roughly translates to "estates" or "courts", giving it a similar name to many other junior chambers around the world, such as the Spanish Cortes Generales, or neighbouring Scandonia's Staten-Generaal.
The Constazione's role in the parliamentary process is to introduce and debate legislation. Legislation that is passed by the Constazione moves to the Senato afterward, and then to the Archonate of the Pacitalian Republic for republican assent. Most legislation is advanced by the government, though opposition members also have the ability, albeit less frequently and freely, to introduce motions or legislation that can be debated and voted upon.
Similar to other countries, many members are named to parliamentary committees that are intended to study proposed legislation in more detail, hear from stakeholders and relevant parties, and subsequently, either vote for legislation to be tabled for the wider body, or simply make recommendations. When the entire Constazione meets, such as to vote on legislation, this is referred to as a plenary session.
There are currently 715 seats in the Constazione. Elected members are referred to as members of the Republican parliament (MRPs). Pacitalia uses mixed-member proportional representation to elect MRPs. Voters have two votes: one for their preferred party and one for a local representative. The majority of seats, 445, are filled via the party vote; the other 270 are divided geographically into electorates where a single member is returned to the Constazione via instant-runoff voting. In the latter, voters rank candidates by preference to ensure that the winner has a majority of support when first-preference and other votes are tabulated.
