League of Nations (Timeline-2)

The League of Nations was created in 1889, to replace the International Conference. It was located in the island of Utopia, in Geneva, Switzerland.

The League Parliament
The League Parliament was tricameral, consisting of the League Assembly, the League Council, and the League Senate. Each house elected its own chairman.

In order to pass a bill, 2 of the 3 houses had to ratify it. The International Conference could veto any bill.

League Assembly
The League Assembly consisted of one Representative from each nation. These Representatives were chosen by the head of state, approved by the national legislature. The League Assembly elects the four non-permanent members to the League Council for a 3-year term.

League Council
The League Council consisted of 4 permanent members (currently America, France, Soviet Union, and United Kingdom) and 6 non-permanent members elected by the League Assembly for a 3-year term. The members of the council are the same Representatives in the Assembly, and each get one vote.

League Senate
The League Senate is unique to the other two houses, because they are elected by the citizens of nations. Each nation is given 1-5 Senators based on population. The nations elect, through proportional representation, a political party of the five available international parties: Socialist International, Liberal International, Catholic International, Nationalist International, and Conservative International.
