National Christian Workers’ Club – Activity and Political Thought in the Legislative Assembly

Summary/Abstract: The text shows the activity of the representation of the Christian Democratic in the Legislative Sejm of the Second Republic of Poland. It presents the composition of the Christian National Workers’ Club, its authorities and the dynamics of changes in the size of its membership. An analysis is made of Christian Democratic political thought, reconstructed based on the first programme of the Christian National Labour Party of 1920 and an analysis of the activity of Christian Democratic deputies in the plenary forum of the Legislative Sejm (here, the primary basis for sources were transcripts of sessions of the Legislative Sejm). The output of the Christian Democratic political thought was presented in regard to the following issues: the position of religion in public life, the role of education, the social question (especially the workers’ question), the political system (especially the contribution of the Christian Democrats to the work on the March Constitution of 1921) and policy. The analysis enabled reconstruction of the fundamental elements of Christian Democratic political thought, above all, their appreciation for a specific axiological system, and demonstrates the consistency of programmatic assumptions with legislative initiatives taken in parliament.
