Changes in canon law from the Second Vatican Council to the present Abstract This thesis deals with the development of the canon law of the Catholic Church from the beginning of the Second Vatican Council to the present day, that is, from 1962. The aim of the thesis is to give an overview of the most significant amendments in the field of canon law in the period covered. During this period, six popes (including John Paul I, whose pontificate lasted only thirty-three days) succeeded at the head of the Catholic Church. The first chapter of the thesis studies canon law as a legal discipline in the context of secular law. The second chapter deals with the period of the Second Vatican Council, its convocation, and its successive four sessions. During the Council, the death of Pope John XXIII occurred. He was succeeded by Pope Paul VI, who immediately expressed his willingness to proceed with the Council and presided over the Council from the second session onwards. In particular, the individual subchapters analyse the sixteen documents issued by the Council during the sessions, which became the ideological basis for the subsequent changes in canon law. The third chapter examines the legislative changes in canon law between the end of the Second Vatican Council and the publication of the new Code of Canon Law....

The relationship between the state and religious communities in the USA Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the relevant aspects of the relationship between the state and religious communities in the United States of America. The focus of the thesis lies in the introduction of the development of interpretation of both religious clauses of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by the Supreme Court, especially in the 20th century. This thesis aims to show, how both religious clauses, even though they were created to serve the same purpose, are in some cases interpreted in a contradicting way.

In the final part, the thesis introduces certain exceptions from the generally applicable legal provisions for the churches and religious legal entities, as well as recent development from the perspective of admitting religious freedom to business corporations.

My goal was to capture political-social conditions on Iberian peninsula in 19th century and historical circumstances leading to acceptance of individual constitutions. The thesis is divided into chapters, each of which refers to one constitution, or a draft of one, in a chronological order. Chapters are divided into sections that explain approach to outstanding topics such as scale and extent of individual state powers, monarch's power, political institutions, concept of suffrage and human rights and freedoms.
