The First National and the 1921 Law of Teskilatı Esasiye have an important place in building a new political regime. Therefore, this study deals with the Organization Act, which was shaped by the idea of national sovereignty and populism during the First Assembly. These issues have been tried to be analyzed from a historical perspective. In this context, the most important discourse that determines the political field and legitimacy of the political actors of the national struggle has been the phenomenon of "national sovereignty". The political power representing the national sovereignty is the “Grand National Assembly”. This assembly gathered the legislative and executive power and built a political regime based on the principle of "union of powers". The “Government of the National Assembly” used the executive power on behalf of the parliament representing the national sovereignty and was responsible to the parliament. Having a pluralistic structure, the Grand National Assembly allowed many social tendencies to be represented in the parliament. In this respect, the deputies, who are the representatives of the environment, adopted a "decentralized" management approach and allowed the 1921 constitution to carry decentralized provisions.
