บทบาทผู้แทนราษฎรภาคเหนือชุดแรกในสายธารประวัติศาสตร์การเมืองไทยหลังการปฏิวัติสยาม 2475

Abstract

This article aims to study and explain the background and responses of the Northern region Members of Parliament elected in Siam’s first general election in 1933, following the Siamese Revolution of June 24, 1932. This revolution led to the promulgation of a constitution that outlined the structure and functions of newly established political institutions. Most notably, the “Parliament” emerged as a new political institution, serving as a governing mechanism that allowed ordinary citizens to participate in the country's administration. Under this new political regime, the role of “Members of Parliament” was formally established to represent the people and serve as part of the legislative branch. Thus, the background and roles of MPs during the early phase of democracy are of particular interest—how they functioned within their constituencies and how they responded to the newly introduced political system. These aspects provide a valuable reflection of the political dynamics in the initial stage of democracy in Siam, where new social groups were granted the opportunity to participate in governance.
