The exact words, "national assembly," have been used prolifically in the international community of nations since the 18th and 19th centuries, considered the [[Age of Revolution]] in western Europe. Nations that formed republics in this age subsequently formed empires. Extensive cross-cultural influences brought much of their language and institutions to the provinces. When these empires collapsed finally, the emancipated countries formed states and other institutions on the model of the former imperial nations. Some examples of international influences are as follows:

 

 

== Origin of the expression ==

 

The expression, however, did not originate in 1789. It was already in use in the French language of the times. [[Louis XIII of France]] (1601–1643), ''par la grace de Dieu Roy de France & de Navarre'', in a ''Declaration'' of April 14, 1627, concerning the sovereignty of his kingdom, prohibits ministers of foreign countries from any jurisdiction in France, citing, as precedent, his ''Lettres de Declaration'' of April 17, 1623, forbidding religious officials from treating with foreign countries. He describes his ''Declaration'' as ''ordonné qu'en Assemblées Provinciales & Nationales des nosdites sujets''.<ref>{{cite book | title=Recueil des actes, titres et mémoires, concernant les affaires du clergé de France, augmenté d'un grand nombre de Pieces, & mis en nouvel ordre | first=Jean | last=Le Gentil | year=1675 | volume=VI | page=731 | location=Paris | publisher=Frederic Leonard}}</ref> This was the "registration" that the [[Parlement]] of Paris refused to perform for [[Louis XVI of France]] in 1787–1788. When the [[Estates-General of 1789]] formed the [[National Assembly (French Revolution)|National Assembly]] of 1789, they did not believe they were instituting anything new. In the [[Assembly of Notables]] of 1787, [[Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette]] had used National Assembly and Estates General synonymously when he suggested that France needed a national assembly to solve its financial problems.
