What was the elected legislature later called in the early Soviet state?

• A. The Supreme Soviet
• B. The Federal Assembly
• C. The National Congress
• D. The People's Assembly

Answer: (A)

Think about how the Soviets functioned as the political backbone of the new state. The elected national body that emerged from these workers’ and peasants’ councils was eventually named the Supreme Soviet, signaling its position as the highest legislative authority in the Soviet system. This title came into fuller use as the system stabilized and the constitution formalized the legislature’s role, making it the main parliament that passed laws and oversaw the government. The other options don’t fit the historical naming used in the Soviet period: they correspond to different eras or modern Russian institutions, not the early Soviet legislature.
