the towns and cities, and one curia for rural communities. Each curia would elect a select number of deputies to the diets, which would in turn elect deputies to the Imperial Council. To be part of the curia of the cities and the curia of the rural communities, a man had to pay at least ten guilders in tax. This system was rejected by Hungary, as with the October Diploma, and Hungary never sent any delegates to the Council. The February Patent was suspended in 1865. With the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Hungary would no longer send deputies to the Imperial Council. Instead, the Empire was reorganised into two equal parts: Cisleithania and Transleithania. Cisleithania consisted of the Austrian part of the Empire, officially "the Kingdoms and Lands represented in the Imperial Council". Transleithania consisted of the Kingdom of Hungary and its subordinate, the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. Instead of a subordinate regional diet, Hungary was granted its own parliament, and essentially attained the status of "sovereign state". The curia system, however, remained in place. At this point, the Council had extensive legislative powers in all Cisleithanian matters. Appointment and dismissal of the government of the Cisleithania and the Minister-President remained the right of the emperor. The number of deputies each diet sent to the Imperial Council was set by the Compromise. There were 203 deputies in total: 54 from the Kingdom of Bohemia 5 from the Kingdom of Dalmatia 38 from the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, 18 from the Archduchy of Lower Austria 10 from the Archduchy of Upper Austria 3 from the Duchy of Salzburg 13 from the Duchy of Styria 5 from the Duchy of Carinthia 6 from the Duchy of Carniola 5 from the Duchy of Bukovina 22 from the Margraviate of Moravia 6 from the Duchy of Upper and Lower Silesia 10 from the Princely County of Tyrol 2 from Vorarlberg 2 from the Margraviate of Istria 2 from the Princely County of Gorizia and Gradisca 2 from Imperial Free City of Trieste The next great change to the Imperial Council came in 1873. The number of deputies was increased from 203 to 353. Deputies would no longer be elected by the diets of the crown lands. Instead, they would be directly elected through the curia system for six year terms. The curia of the landowners elected 85 deputies, that of the chambers of commerce
