The First National Assembly was a gathering of Greek representatives during the Greek War of Independence. It met at Piada (present-day Nea Epidaurus), between December 20, 1821 and January 15, 1822, in the Old Style calendar, in use at the time, in Greece.

Accomplishments

The First National Assembly adopted a "Declaration of Independence" from the Ottoman Empire, organised how the Greek state would operate and, on January 1, 1822, passed the "Temporary Regime of Greece" which was the first Constitution of the newly-declared independent nation.

The new Constitution was the the brain child of the Italian Vincenzo Gallina, Alexandros Mavrokordatos and Theodoros Negris. It incorporated several articles from local revolutionary bodies and provided for an executive and a legislative branch of government. It also established blue and white as the national colours, assigning to the Executive branch the final details of a national flag.
