Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The size of a citizens' assembly is very deliberate and designed to capture a representative cross-section of the population in question.[16] The size will depend on the purpose, demographics, and population of the community the assembly aims to represent in order to capture statistical soundness. The citizens' assembly is relatively small in order to make it more manageable and to enhance the deliberative process.[10] Therefore, most Citizens' Assemblies consist of between 50 and 200 citizens.[18] In Ireland, the 2012-14 Convention on the Constitution was composed of 66 citizens, 33 representatives chosen by political parties, and a chairperson;[19] the subsequent recurring Citizens' Assembly for Ireland recruited 99 citizens reflecting the country's demographic diversity, and appointed an expert chairperson.[20] The 2019-20 Citizens' Assembly of Scotland consists of 100 citizens.[21] The 2020 Citizens' Climate Assembly UK consists of 110 members of the public.[22]
