Summary/Abstract: On 16 November 1918 the bicameral National Assembly terminated its activity, but the new legislative body was not able to take up its role until the beginning of 1920. The two-year functioning of the unicameral National Assembly was marked by certain duplicity. On the one hand, a certain democratization process was taking place, apparent as regards strengthening and expanding parliamentary functions. On the other hand, as a result of unstable party structures and political rivalry dominating the activity of the National Assembly, the discussed institution was incapable of creating a stable system of governance, which left considerable leeway for Prime Minister István Bethlen.
