Changes to composition

In 1697 AN, changes to the active status registration of several political parties that maintained caucuses in the Federal Assembly resulted in the dissolution of several parties, including the second largest party, Cambio Democrático. This resulted in Deputies that were members of Cambio Democrático to defect to either the Federal Humanist Party, the new Solidarity Party, or to the successor of Cambio Democrático, the Progressive Party.
