Composition
Considering that historian Radoš Ljušić has disputed the claim that Nenadović became president in December 1810, and has instead said that he became president in 1809.[6] According to him, there were 6 members and two secretaries in November 1810.[7]
On 11 January 1811, Đorđe Petrović, more commonly known as Karađorđe, entered the Assembly of Uprising Champions and removed Nenadović from power by proclaiming a constitutional act that would ensure him absolute military and political power.[8][9][10]
