The Slovak Assembly was established on 14 July 1927 when the National Assembly abolished the counties of Czechoslovakia, replacing them with four provinces, one of which was Slovakia.[3] The law took effect on 1 July 1928.[4]
The 54-member Assembly had two-thirds of its members elected and the other third appointed by the national government.[3][5]
