Chamber of Deputies (Ottoman Empire)
Lower house of the General Assembly of the Ottoman Empire / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chamber of Deputies (Ottoman Turkish: مجلس مبعوثان Meclis-i meb'ūs̱ān;[2] Turkish: Meclis-i Mebusân or Mebuslar Meclisi; French: Chambre des Députés) of the Ottoman Empire was the lower house of the General Assembly, the Ottoman Parliament.[3] Unlike the upper house, the Senate, the members of the Chamber of Deputies were elected by the general Ottoman populace, although suffrage was limited to males of a certain financial standing, among other restrictions that varied over the Chamber's lifetime.[4]
