The Constituent National Assembly (Template:Lang-cs, Template:Lang-sk) was the unicameral parliament of the Third Republic of Czechoslovakia from 1946 until 1948. Only one election was ever held, in May 1946.
The Constituent National Assembly was a successor to the Interim National Assembly. Democracy in Czechoslovakia ended in the Czechoslovak coup d'état of February 1948, where the Communist Party took power.[1] Democracy was not restored until 41 years later.
