Шаблон:Short description In politics, a diet (Шаблон:IPAc-en, Шаблон:IPAc-en) is a formal deliberative assembly. The term is used historically for deliberative assemblies such as the German Imperial Diet (the general assembly of the Imperial Estates of the Holy Roman Empire), as well as a designation for modern-day legislative bodies of certain countries and states such as the National Diet of Japan, or the German Bundestag, the Federal Diet.

Etymology

The term (also in the nutritional sense) might be derived from Medieval Latin Шаблон:Linktext, meaning both "parliamentary assembly" and "daily food allowance", from earlier Latin Шаблон:Lang, possibly from the Greek Шаблон:Lang (= arbitration),[1] or transcribing Classical Greek Шаблон:Lang Шаблон:Lang, meaning "way of living", and hence also "diet", "regular (daily) work".Шаблон:Citation needed

Through a false etymology, reflected in the spelling change replacing ae with e, the word "diet" came to be associated with Latin Шаблон:Lang, "date". It came to be used in postclassical Europe in the sense of "an assembly" because of its use for the work of an assembly meeting on a daily basis or a given day of the time period, and hence for the assembly itself.[2] The association with dies is reflected in the German language's use of Шаблон:Lang (meeting) and Шаблон:Lang (not only meaning "day", as in Шаблон:Lang—Monday—but also "parliament", "council", or other law-deliberating chamber, as in Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang).[3]

Historic uses

In this sense, it commonly refers to the Imperial Diet assemblies of the Holy Roman Empire:

After the Second Peace of Thorn of 1466, a German-languageШаблон:Citation needed Prussian diet Landtag was held in the lands of Royal Prussia, a province of Poland in personal union with the king of Poland.

The Croatian word for a legislative assembly is Шаблон:Lang (from the verb Шаблон:Lang, "to assemble"); in historic contexts it is often translated with "diet" in English, as in "the Diet of Dalmatia" (Шаблон:Lang), "the Croatian Diet" (Шаблон:Lang), "the Hungarian-Croatian Diet" (Шаблон:Lang), or Diet of Bosnia (Шаблон:Lang).

The Diet of Hungary, customarily called together every three years in Székesfehérvár, Buda or Pressburg, was also called "Diéta" in the Habsburg Empire before the 1848 revolution.

The Riksdag of the Estates was the diet of the four estates of Sweden, from the 15th century until 1866. The Diet of Finland was the successor to the Riksdag of the Estates in the Grand Duchy of Finland, from 1809 to 1906.

The Swiss legislature was the Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang-fr) before the Federal Assembly replaced it in the mid-19th century.

The Polish-Lithuanian Sejm was sometimes called a diet.[4]

Current use
