 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 Quebec, the Legislative Assembly was renamed the National Assembly after the Legislative Council was abolished in 1968.
