The '''General Assembly''' is the upper house of the [[National Assembly (Laeral)\|National Assembly]] of [[Laeral]], which comprises the national legislature of Laeral alongside the [[Assembly of Commons (Laeral)\|Assembly of Commons]]. It meets at Assembly Hall in [[Laeralsford]].

	The General Assembly is an elected body, with two Delegates elected from each of Laeral's 33 provinces to comprise a body of 66, alongside non-voting members from the territory of [[Allied Cities\|Xianjiapo]] and the [[Xueyan Special Administrative Region]]. Members are elected via single transferable vote, a form of proportional representation, within each province on a staggered election schedule to serve six-year terms.

Members are elected via single transferable vote, a form of proportional representation, within each province on a staggered election schedule to serve six-year terms.

	The General Assembly was established in 1954 with the Second Allied Provinces of Laeral, and is the upper and weaker house of the National Assembly—a form of ''imperfect bicameralism''. In contrast to the Assembly of Commons, the General Assembly's approval is not required to elect a [[Prime Minister of Laeral\|prime minister]]. Although the General Assembly may reject legislation passed by the Assembly of Commons, a three-fifths majority in the Commons and the president's concurrence are sufficient to override the General Assembly's veto.

Although the General Assembly may reject legislation passed by the Assembly of Commons, a three-fifths majority in the Commons and the president's concurrence are sufficient to override the General Assembly's veto. Legislation may only be introduced in the General Assembly if it pertains to matters involving the provincial governments; all other legislation, including the budget, must be introduced in the Assembly of Commons. The General Assembly is also responsible for confirming, by three-fifths majority, a Justice to the [[Laeralian Constitutional Court]] upon the president's nomination every odd-numbered year.

	The 1982 [[Laeralian Constitutional Court]] case ''Tian Yan-lin v.

The court found against the plaintiff in an 8-4 ruling. This issue was revisited in the November 2022 case ''Liu Mei-han v. Article 14'', when the Constitutional Court chose to overturn this malapportionment on the basis that it violated the racial equality eternity clause through its discrimination against [[Desi]] Laeralites.
