Congress of Soviets (UASR)

The All-Union Congress of Soviets, also referred to as Congress of Soviets or CoS, is the supreme governing body of the United Republics. It is composed of delegates elected, in proportion to population, by the republican congresses based on the party composition.

Though de jure invested with supreme power by the Constitutional Laws of 1934, most of the day-to-day legislative and executive operations of government are conducted by the Congress' steering committee, the All-Union Central Executive Council.

History
The I Congress of Soviets (February 4, 1933 - March 15, 1934) was a meeting of delegates of the Workers' Communist Party that was established in the opening weeks of the Second American Civil War. Serving as a de facto national government of the anti-fascist forces, the I Congress was responsible for setting up the Provisional Government, headed by a troika of Earl Browder, Upton Sinclair and William Z. Foster, and bringing recalcritant members of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican parties into a broad anti-fascist coalition. On the first week of convention, the I Congress ratified the Fundamental Principles of the Soviet Congresses which laid a set of rules governing the procedure for the national CoS, as well the  as well as a framework for constituent provincial, city and local soviets. The Fundamental Principles established the submission of state-level governments to Soviet governments and still influence the Basic Laws of the United Republics. The Labor's Declaration of Independence was proclaimed by the CoS with the goal of attracting the DFLP and the anti-Putsch left-wing of the Republican Party, establishing an anti-fascist coalition that would last for years afterwards.

In 7 June, the CoS established the Revolutionary Military Committee and started the transition towards a soviet-style government as per the proclamation in May 1st. In September, this formalized with the creation of the United Democratic Front, a coalition between the Workers' Party, the DFLP and the newly created Democratic-Republican Party as well oficially call for a constitutional convention.

Constitutional reform was the last item of agenda in the I Congress of Soviets, which established a Constitutional Committee to draft the Basic Laws while the required number 3/4th of the states rectified the Fundamental Principles rendering the constitution of the old United States null and void. Only in March 15, 1934 did the Congress rectify the Basic Laws and then dissolved itself for new elections in early April.
