Chamber of Deputies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (190 words) |
 | Historically, the "Chamber of Deputies" (fr:Chambre des députés) was the lower house of parliament in the French Third Republic; the name is still informally used for the Assemblée nationale under the current Fifth Republic. |
| Members of these parliamentary chambers are generally referred to as "deputies", with the sense of "congressperson", "member of parliament". |
| The term "deputy" may be extended to refer to any member of a parliamentary body; this usage is particularly common among those parliaments or legislative chambers in French- and Spanish-speaking countries that style themselves National Assemblies. |
