Bartonička, Jan ; Hřebejk, Jiří (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Helena (referee)
It is often accentuated - not only by legal scholars, but also by political scientists - that law, politics, and society in the modern West have been marked by the increasing power of the judge. Therefore in my thesis I have decided to describe the current problems in the constitutional judiciary, including the issue of the so-called goverment of judges (or judicial tyranny) and the role of constitutional courts and judges in modern society. Needless to say, my work is based on extensive use of the fundamental book "Constitutional Courts and Democratic Values: A European Perspective" written by Victor Ferreres Comella, which provides the most detailed analytic description of the centralized model of constitutional review currently available. My thesis consists of an introduction, four chapters and a final conclusion. In the first chapter, the history of Czechoslovak and Czech constitutional judiciary is described from the beginning in the 1920s to the birth of the Czech Republic in the 1990s. In the second part of my thesis, the models of constitutional judiciary in contemporary world in brief are dealt with. French, American and German model are characterized and the specific way in which they function is investigated. In the third chapter I focus on the so-called problem of judical republic,...

Thesis is composed of four parts. The first describes history and evolution of relations between Czechs and Slovaks: foundation of their common state, creation of separate Slovak state, reconstruction of the republic after Second World War and later events.

Constitutional development of the Francist Spain
Vavrušková, Magda ; Seltenreich, Radim (advisor) ; Skřejpková, Petra (referee)
Constitutional Development of the Francoist Spain Summary in English The aim of the thesis is to describe political regime, legal order and especially the constitutional laws applicable in Spain during the governance of Francisco Franco Bahamonde between the years 1936 and 1975. Franco took part in the military uprising against the Second Spanish Republic and soon became the leader of the nationalist troops. As the head of state he constructed a "New State" inspired by the fascist, falangist and traditionalistic ideas. Under the influence of international circumstances after the Second World War he was forced to change his allies - Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany was replaced by the United States - but his autocratic regime did not change a lot. It was still him who disposed of the unlimited power and whose status was unchangable. The free competition of the political parties was disabled as the only legal party was Francoist FET y de las JONS (later known as National Movement). During his reign Franco adopted seven constitutional laws which confirmed human rights and ideological principles of the regime and organized the state administration and public authorities. First of these laws was Labour Charter, adopted in 1938, followed by Law on the Cortes in 1942, Charter of the Spaniards in 1945, Law on...

The President of the Republic within the constitutional system of the Czechoslovak Republic before Munich
Jandura, Michal ; Gronský, Ján (advisor) ; Janstová, Kateřina (referee)
124 VII. Shrnutí Diplomní práce s názvem Prezident republiky v ústavním systému předmnichovské ČSR se zabývá ústavním postavením prezidenta republiky v době první republiky, tj. v letech 1918 - 1938 a to po stránce formálně ústavní, avšak i z hlediska jeho faktického postavení. Autor v diplomní práci naznačuje slabší formální postavení prezidenta republiky v tzv. prozatímní ústavě z roku 1918 ( zákon č. 37/1918 Sb. z. a n. ze dne 13. listopadu 1918, o prozatímní ústavě ) a jeho poněkud silnější formální postavení v Ústavní listině z roku 1920 ( zákon č. 121/1920 Sb. z. a n. ze dne 29. února 1920, kterým se uvozuje Ústavní listina Československé republiky ) a dále v práci zdůrazňuje velmi silné faktické postavení prezidenta republiky Tomáše Garrigue Masaryka plynoucí z jeho silné osobnosti, avšak i s ohledem na jeho zásluhy o vznik Československé republiky a z jeho všestranných morálních předpokladů pro výkon této funkce. Silné faktické postavení prezidenta republiky je vysvětleno na jeho vztahu k vůdcům státotvorných politických stran uskupených v neformální koalici zvané " pětka", kterými byl první prezident pro svoji autoritu respektován. Dále se autor věnuje podrobně jednotlivým pravomocem prezidenta republiky, které byly vymezeny především zmiňovanou Ústavní listinou z roku 1920, avšak i dále celou...

Constitutional Conformity of Regulation n. 163/1991, on Establishment of the Šumava National Park: Study 1.199
Syllová, Jindřiška
Parlament České republiky má podstatným způsobem ztíženu možnost změnit hranice Národního parku Šumava. Nemůže přijmout věcnou novelu nařízení vlády, kterým byl park zřízen. Z toho vyplývá, že po celá desetiletí je řádný zákonodárce v podstatě vyloučen z možnosti zmenšit nebo zvětšit území národního parku prostřednictvím vlastní zákonodárné iniciativy. Aby mohli být poslanci úspěšní, museli by navrhnout a přijmout celý nový zákon o Národním parku Šumava. Jiným méně razantním způsobem není možno do hranic parku zasáhnout. Je jistě náročné pro jednotlivé poslance vypracovat celý nový zákon, čímž je omezeno právo zákonodárné iniciativy poslanců a poslaneckých skupin. Rovněž další subjekty, které mají právo zákonodárné iniciativy, jsou tímto omezením zasaženi (včetně zastupitelstev krajů). Takto je petrifikován dosavadní právní stav, který sice z procesuálního hlediska není možno považovat (ve světle judikatury Ústavního soudu) za protiústavní, nicméně jeho dlouhodobé pokračování už je z hlediska práv jednotlivých subjektů zákonodárné iniciativy i z hlediska práv zákonodárce problematické. Rovněž některé další důvody, zejména aspekty týkající se právního státu, vedou k závěru, že se nařízení vlády, kterým byl zřízen Národní park Šumava, ocitá na samých hranicích konformity s Ústavou České republiky.

Selected Issues Concerning Constitutional Regulation of Self-Government
Matula, Miloš
The constitutional issues of self-government do not regard only such matters where the Constitution explicitly warrants or mentions self-government, but also such matters where the regulation of activities of central bodies is carried out by the Constitution, while it is not the case on the level of self-government; and some other matters. The article expressly deals with fundamental constitutional provisions relating to self-government.
