Summary/Abstract: The country assembly is a form of direct exercise of power by the local community (direct democracy). It is the body of a specific settlement, which is an auxiliary unit created in Poland by the commune. The organization of a country assembly, as well as its tasks, are defined in the statute of the settlement, accepted by the commune council. The country assembly, as a collective body, plays an important role in carrying out the tasks transferred to the settlement and also it exerts an impact on how to use the property administered by the settlement.
