	Chamber of Deputies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically, the "Chamber of Deputies" (fr:Chambre des députés) was the lower house of parliament in the French Third Republic; the name is still informally used for the Assemblée nationale under the current Fifth Republic.
		Members of these parliamentary chambers are generally referred to as "deputies", with the sense of "congressperson", "member of parliament".
		The term "deputy" may be extended to refer to any member of a parliamentary body; this usage is particularly common among those parliaments or legislative chambers in French- and Spanish-speaking countries that style themselves National Assemblies.
