The Constituent Assembly was the first elected body in the State of Israel, whose role was to establish the Constitution of the State of Israel. Its composition was determined in the elections for the Constituent Assembly on January 25, 1949. In the Declaration of Independence, it was determined that the Constituent Assembly would establish a constitution for the country by October 1, 1948, according to which "the elected and regular authorities of the country" would be established. In practice, the assembly convened for the first time on February 14, 1949, and within just two days decided to change its designation from a constituent assembly to a legislative house and its name "the Knesset".
