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 a woman to get a rewarding sense of total creation by way of the multiple monotonous chores that are her daily lot would be as irrational as for an assembly line worker to rejoice that he had created an automobile because he tightened a bolt.”
—Edith Mendel Stern (1901–1975)
“I learned from my two years’ experience that it would cost incredibly little trouble to obtain one’s necessary food, even in this latitude; that a man may use as simple a diet as the animals, and yet retain health and strength.... Yet men have come to such a pass that they frequently starve, not for want of necessaries, but for want of luxuries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
