" "The first to which this character ought to be applied, is the House of Commons in Great Britain. The history of this branch of the English Constitution, anterior to the date of Magna Charta, is too obscure to yield instruction.

The earliest records of subsequent date prove that parliaments were to sit only every year; not that they were to be elected every year.
