喺《中華民國憲法》嘅原文入面，國民大會由國民大會代表（俗稱國大代表或者國代）所組成，佢最重要嘅職權就係選舉中華民國總統同埋副總統，相當於當時嘅美國總統選舉人團或者蘇聯嘅最高蘇維埃。而後來同國民大會性質類似嘅代議制立法機關仲包括中華人民共和國嘅全國人民代表大會、前韓國總統朴正熙時代嘅統一主體國民會議、同埋朝鮮民主人民共和國嘅最高人民議會等。
In the original text of the Constitution of the Republic of China, the National Assembly was composed of deputies to the National Assembly (commonly known as deputies to the National Assembly or National Delegates), whose most important functions and powers were to elect The President of the Republic of China and vice presidents, equivalent to the Electoral College of the United States Electoral College or the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. Later representative legislatures similar to the National Assembly included the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China, the Unification Juche National Assembly under former Korea President Park Chung-hee, and the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
