Question

What was Duma ? Also expain Duma.

Answer 1

Explanation:

duma (дума) was a Russian assembly with advisory or legislative functions. The term comes from the Russian verb думать (dumat’) meaning "to think" or "to consider". The first formally constituted duma was the State Duma introduced into the Russian Empire by Tsar Nicholas II in 1905 after the revolt of people against him demanding for the elected assembly. The Tsar dismissed the first duma within 75 days and re-elected second duma within three months. It was dissolved in 1917 during the Russian Revolution. Since 1993, the State Duma is the lower legislative house of the Russian Federation.

Answer 2

During the 1905 revolution Tsar allowed a creation of an elected consultative parliament called Duma.
The Duma became questioning Tsar about his powers.
So Tsar dismissed the first Duma within 75 days and the re elected second Duma within 3 months.
He did not want any questioning and reduction of his powers.
