Parliamentary elections were held in
constitution, following the 3 September 1843 Revolution.[2] The Three-Party Coalition won almost half the seats in the 243-seat Chamber.[3]
Background
During and after the
national assemblies had taken place, and promulgated a series of liberal constitutions that enshrined democratic principles. Nevertheless, the Kingdom of Greece, established in 1832 under the Bavarian prince Otto, disregarded the existence of the 1832 Constitution passed by the Fifth National Assembly. From 1832 until 1835, the kingdom was ruled by a Bavarian regency, and after that by Otto as an absolute monarchy
.
This situation lasted until the
constitutional assembly. The election resulted in the "Third of September National Assembly of the Greeks at Athens". The new assembly promulgated the Greek Constitution of 1844 in February, which was ratified by Otto in March. After this the National assembly was dissolved and elections
proclaimed for the first regular parliament.
