Constitutional aspects of the dissolution of the Czechoslovak Federation

Constitutional aspects of the dissolution of the Czechoslovak Federation Abstract The Czechoslovak Federation was a Czechoslovak state, which originated in 1918 based on the nation's right to self-determination. Through the natural and historical law, Slovakia was incorporated into the historical territory of the Lands of the Czech Crown, and Czechoslovakia was formed. A Czechoslovak nation had not previously existed. It was created out of people on the Czech territory and people on the Slovak territory as a fiction that helped to defend the state-forming idea. A Czechoslovak state was created as a national state, but was, in fact, a multinational state. Unsolved national and ethnic issues were one of the major causes of the end of the Czechoslovak state.

Contitnuity of Law at Crucial Moments of the Czechoslovak State
Bárta, Jan
Among the significant turning points in the history of Czechoslovakia as a State that have to be considered, such as its coming into existence in 1918, and its dissolution in 1993, also the beginning and the ending of the Nazi occupation, and additional turning point that needs attention is the fundamental constitutional transformation into a federation, as of 1969. At each and every of the aforementioned instances, it was inevitable to lay down, in a conrresponding manner, whether and to what extent the formerly applicable law remained in force. The article examines the phenomenon of that in these indicated situations, which as such represent completely different circumstances, they still gave rise to the technically speaking analogous question of continuity of law. This justifies a mutual comparison of legislative approaches to sitiations which in themselves, both historically and essentially, are not comparable. As regards the termination of Czechoslovakia, we are in fact in presence of the post-Czechoslovakian acts, and it is therefore appropriate to terat the measures taken by Czechia and by Slovakia separately.
