As an elected body, the Legislature of Burma was a bicameral legislature consisting of the 36-seat Senate and the 132-seat House of Representatives.[1] EstablishmentThe Government of Burma Act 1935 separated Burma from British India as of 1 April 1937,[2] and created a 36-seat Senate and a 132-seat House of Representatives.[3] Notable legislationIn 1938, the Legislature of Burma attempted to remedy the dispossession of rural Burmese farmers who were displaced by Indians, in particular, the Chettiars, by passing the Tenancy Act, Land Purchase Act, and Land Alienation Act.[4] The Tenancy Act intended to safeguard tenants from eviction and to fix fair rents, while the Land Purchase Act allowed the government to purchase large swathes of land owned by non-agriculturalists to be resold on a tenancy basis to genuine farmers.[4] In 1938, the Legislature passed into law the progressive University Act.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.burmalibrary.org/docs08/1935_Constitution(en).pdf|title=Government of Burma Act, 1935 |date=1935|work=Government of Burma|publisher=King’s Printer of Acts of Parliament|accessdate=7 July 2015}} {{Legislatures of Burma}}2. ^"The New Constitution: Separation from India", The Times, 20 April 1937, p36, Issue 47663 3. ^"Legislature and Electors Burma at the Polls", The Times, 20 April 1937, p37, Issue 47663 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.foia.cia.gov/sites/default/files/document_conversions/89801/DOC_0000709794.pdf|title=Economic Rehabilitation in Burma|date=1 June 1945|work=Current Intelligence Study Number 23|publisher=Central Intelligence Agency|accessdate=7 July 2015}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Silverstein|first=Josef|title=The Political Legacy of Aung San|publisher=SEAP Publications|date=1993|pages=9780877271284}} 8 : Legislatures of Myanmar|History of Myanmar|Organizations established in 1936|Imperial Legislative Council of India|Defunct bicameral legislatures|1936 establishments in Asia|Organizations disestablished in 1947|1947 disestablishments in Asia |
