	The Structure and Operation of Lithuania's Parlamentary Democracy 1920-1939
		The legislative branch of the government was called the Seimas, members of which were "the representatives of the people,"15 elected by a general, equal, direct and secret ballot, under the proportional system.
		Therefore, it was logical that the only requirement which the Seimas members had to fulfill was to take an oath or to give a solemn promise that they would be loyal to the Republic, protect its laws and conscientiously carry out their duties as representatives of the people.
		When the Seimas voted no-confidence in the Voldemaras Cabinet for its detention of one Populist representative for an alleged conspiracy to overturn the government, the President dismissed the Seimas and did not proclaim new elections, which the constitution declared must be held within 60 days.

		If in the text under investigation the frequency of the usage of 'control'-oriented words is higher than the frequency of the usage of 'fight'-oriented words, such text should be named as belonging to the 'control'-rhetoric; in the opposite case, the text should be evaluated as belonging to the 'fight'-oriented rhetoric.
		The investigation of the usage of 'fight' and 'control' rhetoric is based on the content analysis of the electronic version of records of Seimas' session of May 18, May 26 and the text of Resolution of Seimas on July 19, 1994.
		Secondly, though generally, rhetoric of members of Seimas could be treated as Soviet-style 'fight'-rhetoric, one should consider that this type of rhetoric is often used in political competition in Western states.
