King Rama VII (Prajadhipok) of Chakri Dynasty wished to grant a constitution to the people to be the country's governmental and administrative principles. After his visit to United States, he consulted with his advisors on granting of a constitution to the Thai people. The advisors suggested that there ought to be education on constitutional government to promote better public understanding on that matter, especially with regard to representative elections, otherwise the provision of the constitution would not achieve his intended primary objectives.

The revolution that took place on 24th June 1932 ended the regime of absolute monarchy. During the first few days, the military committee in defense of the capital comprising Colonel Phya Bahol Polpayuhasena, Colonel Phya Songsuradej and Colonel Phya Riddhi Aganey became the country's temporary administrators.

On 27 June 1932 the provisional constitution was granted and named the "Temporary Charter for the Administration of Siam 1932". The main points of the constitution were that the highest administrative power belonged to the people not the King and that the power was to be exercised through the people's representatives, that is, 1. The King 2. The House of Representatives 3. The People's Committee 4. The Courts. In other words, the King shared legislative power with the House of Representatives, executive power with the People's Committee and judicial power with the Courts. The constitutional system was similar to a parliamentary system in which the House of Representatives had the power to appoint and dismiss the People's Committee which controlled executive power according to the constitution. Political institutions consisted of the King, the House of Parliament and the People's Committee.
