The elected parliament was responsible for some of the most important decisions in the modern Georgian history, such as the declaration of independence from the Soviet Union, the adoption of the first Constitution of the Republic of Georgia, as well as the revocation of South Ossetian autonomy and the subsequent prosecution of the war in South Ossetia. The Council ceased functioning after the coup d'état of 6 January 1992 and some of its members took part in the subsequent civil war. The Parliament was re-instituted in March 1992 as the "State Council" and fresh elections were held on 4 August of the same year.
