The Chamber of Nationalities is a now-defunct chamber of the bicameral parliament of Myanmar (formerly Burma). It consisted of 125 seats. Bills initiated and passed by the higher Chamber of Deputies, according to the 1947 Constitution, were to be sent to the Chamber of Nationalities for amending. The Chamber of Nationalities was primarily formed to give minorities within Burma some political power in the national government. The constitution provided for specified numbers of representatives from all states and divisions. 25 seats were to be allotted to Shan State, 12 to Kachin State, 8 seats to Special Division of the Chins (now Chin State), 3 seats to Karenni State (now Kayah State), 24 to ethnic Karens, and 53 to all other territories (including divisions). The constitution was abolished after the takeover of Ne Win in 1962, after which a new constitution based on socialism was established.

The system of national committees was established at the close of World War II by the then-existing provisional government and was used by the communists as a means of consolidating and extending their control.
National committees on the higher levels were proportionately larger: national committees at the district level had from 60 to 120 members, and national committees at the kraje level had between 80 and 150 members.
The national committees on the local level were assigned particular areas of jurisdiction, including maintaining public order and organizing the implementation of the political, economic, and cultural tasks assigned by the KSC and the federal government.
