 Legislative Assembly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Legislative Assembly in British constitutional thought is the second-to-top or third-to-top tier of a government led by a Governor-General, Governor or a Lieutenant-Governor, inferior to an Executive Council and equal to or inferior to a Legislative Council.
Though the Legislative Council should in theory operate as a legislature of a governorate (not necessarily a colony) with elected members, the separate development of governments in the British Empire and Commonwealth has seen the Councils evolve.
In those colonies, and in the United Colonies of 1866-1871, the Legislative Assemblies had limited powers relative to that of the Governor of British Columbia and the largely appointed Executive Council, which included local military and judicial officials.
