The Constitution of Luxembourg is the supreme law of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The modern constitution was adopted on 17 October 1868. Whilst the constitution of 1868 marked a radical change in Luxembourg's constitutional settlement, it was technically an amendment of the original constitution. That original constitution was promulgated on 12 October 1841, came into effect on 1 January 1842, and was acutely amended on 20 March 1848.
A new constitution, drafted in 1848, introduced a constitutional monarchy: the King-Grand Duke only retained those powers specifically enumerated in the Constitution. The parliament, now called the Chambre des Députés, had legislative power: it had the right to propose and amend laws. It would decide the budget, and receive the power to investigate. The government became accountable to the Chamber. In addition, its sessions were now public.
Now the Chamber of Deputies (Parliament), abbreviated to the Chamber, is the unicameral national legislature of Luxembourg. The Chamber is made up of 60 seats. Deputies are elected to serve five-year terms by proportional representation in four multi-seat constituencies. Voters may vote for as many candidates as the constituency elects deputies.
