The election was effectively a <a href="/wiki/Referendum" title="Referendum">referendum</a> on the Anglo-Irish Treaty in the southern partition of Ireland but the pro-treaty members of Sinn Féin won a majority of seats.

For example, the Dáil was able to persuade many Irish people to boycott the British judicial system and instead seek justice in a network of <a href="/wiki/D%C3%A1il_Courts" title="Dáil Courts">Dáil Courts</a>. Nonetheless, the Irish Republic was not quite a true <i>de facto</i> state and received no support among the <a href="/wiki/Unionist_(Ireland)" class="mw-redirect" title="Unionist (Ireland)">Unionist</a> majority in North-East Ireland. </p><p>However, for its members the role of Dáil Éireann was symbolic as well as concrete. By winning the 1918 general election they were able to claim that the Dáil was the legitimate parliament of Ireland, and that from the Dáil they derived legal authority to wage war against British rule. This was not merely an abstract philosophical point. At this time many Irish people were devout <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_Ireland" title="Catholic Church in Ireland">Catholics</a> whose church taught that war was sinful unless waged by a legitimated authority and for a just cause. Part of the reason for convening Dáil Éireann was therefore to satisfy the requirements of <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la"><a href="/wiki/Jus_ad_bellum" title="Jus ad bellum">jus ad bellum</a></i></span> and to make it easier to win the support of clergymen which in turn was thought a necessary prerequisite to win the support of the general public. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/D%C3%A1il_Constitution" title="Dáil Constitution">Dáil Constitution</a> adopted in 1919 was a brief, provisional document that placed few limitations on the power of the Dáil and could, in any case, be amended by a simple vote. Under the constitution the executive of the republic consisted of a cabinet led by an official called both the <a href="/wiki/President_of_D%C3%A1il_%C3%89ireann" title="President of Dáil Éireann">President of Dáil Éireann</a> and the <span title="Irish-language text"><i lang="ga">Príomh Aire</i></span>. In 1921 the constitution amended to rename this official as President of the Republic and make him <a href="/wiki/Head_of_state" title="Head of state">head of state</a>. </p><p>At all times the Republic's executive consisted of members of the Dáil and was theoretically answerable to it. The most important tasks of ministers were to command the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and, during 1921, to communicate and conduct negotiations with the British government. While notionally answerable to the cabinet, in practice individual IRA units enjoyed a high degree of autonomy. </p><p>After the election of the Third Dáil in 1922 the role of the Dáil changed substantially. Under the Anglo-Irish Treaty this body was intended to prepare the ground for the creation of an independent state called the Irish Free State. Powers were therefore progressively transferred to it from the British administration over a short period. The Third Dáil also had the role of acting as a "constituent assembly" to adopt the new Free State constitution. </p><p>The Irish Republic and its cabinet continued to exist right up until the Irish Free State came into force, though under British law the Third Dáil was charged with electing an executive called the "Provisional Government". For a time, until they were effectively merged, this Provisional Government and the old republican administration existed side by side, with significant overlaps in membership. </p><p>Today the First and Second <i>Dála</i> continue to have symbolic importance for the most radical Irish republicans. The general election of 1918 was the last occasion on which a single general election occurred across the whole island of Ireland and is seen by these republicans as granting a mandate for violent resistance to British rule in Northern Ireland that is unextinguished even to this day. </p><p>Because the Third Dáil and its successors have not been elected on an all-Ireland basis, in republican ideology they have not been legitimate. In this view, the Second Dáil has never been dissolved and those (minority) of members of the Second Dáil who rejected the Anglo-Irish Treaty have granted <a href="/wiki/List_of_IRAs" class="mw-redirect" title="List of IRAs">themselves</a> the authority to continue the armed struggle. This view is known as <a href="/wiki/Irish_Republican_legitimatism" class="mw-redirect" title="Irish Republican legitimatism">Irish Republican legitimatism</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading
