After the end of the war in 1665 and consequently the constitutionalist victory, many saw the necessity of reforming the old King's Council to an independent parliamentary body, culminating in the creation of the Royal Assembly in the same year. Through the years, the Royal Assembly faced diverse reforms in its numbers and internal working system, with the most recent being the Electoral Reform Act of 1987.
