During the reign of Shah Amanullah Khan, the constitution, which was the first constitution of Afghanistan, was approved by members of the Jirga in Jalalabad.
After the fall of the regime and the ousting of Shah Amanullah to Rome and the rise of Nader Shah to power, a jirga was convened and decisions were made on issues such as the National Assembly election bill, the number, and method of electing provincial council members and the election of the color.
