Within the period of six months or until the Country is orderly organised, the Members of the House must be composed of two types of persons carrying out affairs together, namely—

First Type : Representatives who are to be selected by the people, one from each province. If any province has over one hundred thousand Members [sic], that province shall select one additional Representative per each and every one hundred thousand [people]. A surplus of one hundred thousand, if exceeding the half, shall amount to one additional [Representative].

Second Type : Those who have already been Members since the First Period, having the same number as the First Type Members. If there is an excess in their number, they shall select some amongst themselves to remain in memberships. If there is a lack in the number, the existing persons shall select any persons to fill up the vacancies.

When over half of the number of the people throughout the Royal Territory has passed the primary education examination, which, at most, must not be later than ten years from the day this Constitution comes into force, the Members of the House of People’s Representatives must all be the persons elected by the people themselves and the Second Type Members shall no longer exist.
