Description

An excerpt from the beginning: Russia's third Duma was convoked on November 14, 1907. The first two Dumas were dissolved by imperial manifestos as unsatisfactory and incapable of constructive legislative work. The first Duma was dissolved on July 22, 1906, after a session lasting a little over two months. The second Duma, opened on April 5, 1907, was dissolved on June 16, 1907. The dissolution of the second Duma was followed by the introduction of a new electoral law. According to the fundamental laws of March, 1906, "no new law can go into force without the consent of the Imperial Council and the Imperial Duma, and the confirmation of the Emperor." This article of the new fundamental laws incorporated the important clause of the manifesto of October 30, 1905, which established "as an unalterable rule that no law can have any force without the consent of the Imperial Duma" Another article of the fundamental laws reads: “When the Imperial Duma is not in session, if exceptional circumstances make urgent a measure which should be discussed in the usual order of legislation, the Council of Ministers may propose such a measure to the Emperor. Such a measure cannot, however, introduce changes either in the fundamental laws or the institutions of the Imperial Duma and the Imperial Council or in the elections to the Council and the Duma. “ In view of these two articles how then could a new electoral law be introduced? We find the answer to this question in the manifesto of June 16, 1907. In this manifesto the Emperor gives his reasons for dissolving the Duma: "To our grief, the majority of the members of the second Duma did not justify our expectations. We explain this second failure of the Duma by the fact that, through the newness of the institution and the incompleteness of the electoral law, this legislative assembly was filled with members who were not the expression of the needs and wishes of the people."
