Founding Objectives

The institute of new congress was founded in the year of 1990, by the joint force of legislators and researchers from the Democratic Progressive Party. In 1990, the Legislative Yuan was still occupied by the never-reelected old representatives. The formation of the institute of new congress is in the principles of democracy, social movement, policy orientation and grass-roots. The goal then was, with the engaged pursuit of reformation of the congress, with dedication to policy research and bill formation, to reconstruct the functionality of a true congress.
