Procedure in Making the Satellite Constitutions of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland
Abstract
PREFACEThe present dissertation is concerned with the constitutional development of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland since the end of World War II. More precisely, it wishes to show how within that development the new constitutions were set up in those states. In Czechoslovakia the new people's democratic constitution was adopted on May 9, 1948, in Hungary on August 20, 1949, and in Poland on July 22, 1952. The investigations of the present dissertation do not go beyond these above mentioned dates; this does not mean, however, that the constitutional development of the states concerned would have stopped after the adoption of the new constitutions.Since the end of World War II, many books and articles have been written and published on the problem of East and Central European states. These writings have dealt with the most different approaches, the most various aspects; however, up to now there has not yet been offered a comprehensive study on the constitutional development of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland on a comparative basis. Further, writings dealing with the constitutional development of states in Central and East Europe since the end of World War II do hot render an analysis in constitution-making from the point of view of procedure. It is this, then, that justifies the present dissertations the scope and the approach. As to the scope, the present study is concerned with the constitutional development of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland on a comparative basis. As to the approach, the study is concerned with the procedure in the making of the new, people's democratic constitutions of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland.
