| - Through the Pledges of Loyalty to the Scandinavian Crown that renewed every ten years, the local rulers effectively gave up their political power in each of their realms. From 1870 to 1957, the real prerogative power laid in the hands of the Scandinavian Commissioner-General for Madagascar that appointed by the King of Scandinavia. Although according to the Pledges of Loyalty, the Commissioner-General was installed to advise the rulers, in reality the role was reversed where the rulers advised the Commissioner regarding the colonial policy, religious and communal matters. A conference of the Malagasy local rulers called the Assembly of the Kings was first convened in Tannanolo, the royal seat of Lotanraja Kingdom, in 1881 and attended by nineteen rulers from all parts of Madagascar. Beginning in 1934, the Legislative Council of Madagascar was created following the rise of Malagasy self-government movement. The council consisted of the representation from each Malagasy polities that elected indirectly under the limited male suffrage system. Like the Assembly of the Kings, the council had only consultative powers over the office of Commissioner-General.
