Assembly

The Assembly is the legislative branch of the magical government of the United States. Divided between the Senate, the upper house of the Assembly, and the Forum, the lower house of the Assembly, this parlimentary body is responsible for issuing the edicts that govern Gifted life. However, much like other branches of the magical government, the Assembly is also marked by an elitist bend that gives entreanched "noble" houses an obvious bend in the magicial politics of the United States.

History
More to come soon on the history of the Assembly.

The Senate
The upper-house of the magical legislature, the Senate, is notable since Senators are appointed by the Council Arcanum, the supreme legislative body, which itself is appointed by the Magister. The Senate functions much like the Forum, however, it is smaller, giving each individual Senator greater power, and also carries the responsibility to appoint the Secretary of Magic, the executive of the magical government.

The Forum
The lower-house of the magical legislature, the Forum, is the only directly elected political body of the magical government of the United States. The elite's "concession to Franklin," the Forum carries the other half of the power of the legislature and attempts to speak for the non-elites in the magical United States.
