The

) was the
upper house
of the

Second Republic
. The House of Councillors was established by the
Constitution
of the Second Republic of Korea, which established a
bicameral
legislature
. Officially, a House of Councillors was provided for by the Constitution of the
First Republic
, but the
House of Representatives
acted as the only house in a unicameral legislature since the House of Councillors was not actually established.
