The Creation of The Diet
Recommended by the German-speaking Liberals, Francis Joseph issued a license by February 26, 1861 which created an Imperial Parliament (composed of the House and Senate) with extensive legislative powers, drastically reducing the powers previously planned for the provincial assembly. Within this patent, 15 were approved statutes of the reconstituted provincial assembly, with its Sabor regulations, which provided for an electoral system that gave voting rights only to those who were in possession of even a minimal fee.
The electoral system was based on four curiae, representing various social bodies:
- The high census (which ten representatives elected in Dalmatia)
- The cities (eight representatives)
- The chambers of commerce (three representatives)
- The rural municipalities (twenty representatives)
Apart from these, for the Kingdom of Dalmatia was envisaged that Members were entitled to the Archbishop of Zadar and Vladika (Metropolitan) Orthodox for Dalmatia, Istria and Albania pro tempore. The seat of the Diet was Zara.
This system gives the bourgeois and aristocratic classes and the urban population than rural, if the rest of the empire strengthened the political clout of the German group, in the eastern Adriatic (Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia) favor speaking populations and Italian culture, traditionally the richest and most concentrated in cities on the coast.

Famous quotes containing the words creation and/or diet:
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
