Panellinion

This article is about the Greek advisory body created in 1828. For the steamship with the same name, see Panellinion (steamship).

The Panellinion (Greek: Πανελλήνιον) was the name given to the advisory body created on 23 April 1828 by Ioannis Kapodistrias, replacing the Legislative Body, as one of the terms he set to assume the governorship of the new country.[1] The Panellinion was later replaced by the Senate during the Fourth National Assembly at Argos in July 1829.[2] The body was named after the Panhellenion, a league of Greek city-states established by Emperor Hadrian.

The Panellinion had 27 members, split into three departments.

Before publishing Kapodistrias' decision regarding the 1829 elections, the Governor added 9 new members to overcome the obstructions he faced by the Panellinion. With the majority now on his side, he had support for his actions.[3]
