| '''House of Assembly''' is a name given to the [[legislature]] or [[lower house]] of a [[bicameralism|bicameral]] parliament. In some countries this may be at a [[administrative division|subnational level]].
| |
| | |
| Historically, in [[Kingdom of Great Britain|British]] [[Crown colony|Crown colonies]] as the colony gained more internal [[responsible government]], the House of Assembly superseded the (usually unelected) [[Legislative Council]] as the [[colonialism|colonial]] legislature, often becoming the lower house.
