1st Legislature of the Haitian Parliament

The 1st Legislature of the Haitian Parliament held office from April 22, 1817, to March 31, 1822. It was the first bicameral parliament, introduced by the Revised Constitution of 1806 under President Alexandre Pétion. It succeeded the 1st unicameral Senate of Haiti, adding the 29-member "Chamber of Representatives of the Communes" as the lower house. Despite the expansion of the parliament, Pétion's also revised the constitution to designate himself as president for life, and the Senate approved his designation of Jean-Pierre Boyer as his successor.1820 Constitution of Haiti from 27 December 1806, and its revision from 2 June 1816, year 13 of independence https://www.haiti-reference.com/pages/plan/histoire-et-societe/documents-historiques/constitutions/constitution-1816/ Article 142 Saint Marc 4 September 2024 1 May 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190501175530/https://www.haiti-reference.com/pages/plan/histoire-et-societe/documents-historiques/constitutions/constitution-1816/ dead In addition, the revision adjusted the 24 Senate members' terms entirely to nine-year terms, and the Chamber of Commons regularly accepted Pétion's slates of nominations for appointments to the Senate. Initially a supporter of democracy, Pétion found the constraints imposed on him by the senate onerous and suspended the legislature in 1818.Senauth, Frank https://books.google.com/books?id=mmgQSVa2G_kC&pg=PA25 The Making and the Destruction of Haiti AuthorHouse 2011 9781456753832 Bloomington, IN 25 It was reconstituted following Boyer's succession to the presidency on 30 March 1818.
