People's Chamber
The People's Chamber was the unicameral legislature of the German Democratic Republic. From its founding in 1949 until the first free elections on 18 March 1990, all members of the Volkskammer were elected on a slate controlled by the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, called the National Front. Despite the appearance of a multi-party system, all these Bloc parties were effectively controlled by the dominant SED. In addition, seats were also allocated to various mass organizations affiliated with the SED, such as the Free German Youth. Initially, it existed alongside the Chamber of States, or Länderkammer, but in 1952 the states of East Germany were dissolved, and the chamber was abolished in 1958. In theory, the Volkskammer was the highest organ of state power in the German Democratic Republic. Both GDR constitutions purported vested it with great lawmaking powers. It also formally appointed the Council of State, the Council of Ministers, and the National Defence Council. In practice, like most other legislatures in Communist countries, the People's Chamber did little more than rubber-stamp decisions already made by the SED. All parties were expected to respect the principles of democratic centralism and the leading role of the SED. As a result, all but two measures put before it before the Peaceful Revolution passed unanimously. A vote on liberalising abortion laws saw 14 CDU representatives vote nay and eight abstain, and the vote to confirm Egon Krenz as head of state saw 26 nays and 26 abstentions.
