Legislative assemblies of Carucere

The four levels of the Carucerean assembly system.

The legislative assemblies of Carucere, commonly known as just the Assemblies (Gaullican: Assemblées, Papotement: Bann Bouga), is the hierarchical system of legislative bodies that primarily serves as the governing institutions of the country's administrative divisions. It consists of four levels, each with their own assemblies; local (community), provincial (parish), regional (insular), and national. Below the national level, the assemblies are granted limited authority from the Senate of Carucere to govern their constituency. At the national level is the National Assembly, which serves as an informal but important role in national politics, serving as a hybrid of auditor and ombudsman, as well as an upper house for some legislation.

The assemblies are elected through a hierarchical system, where each assembly is elected by the level below them, ending with the voters electing the assemblies at the local level. Assembly members are elected by the delegate model of representation, where each member has no autonomy and is bound to the wishes of their appointee; any member can be may be appointed or recalled at any time. Thus each assembly member at all levels of the system is ultimately accountable to the wishes of local voters. Furthermore, National Assembly ensures that elected officials on the national level are also monitored and held accountable.

The legislative assembly system directly originates from the governance councils of the Social Liberation Movement of Carucere (MLSK), established during the 1930s and 1940s, making the institution older than the country itself. The assemblies helped coordinate the actions of the MLSK before independence and functioned as the country's provisional government after the Carucerean Revolution. Despite the demise of the MLSK, the assemblies continued to operate and were the sole democratic institution during the period of single-party rule from 1957 to 1986.
