Summary/Abstract: As a publicist, literary critic, and politician, Jakov Jaša Prodanović (1867–1948) was one of the most prominent supporters of the ideas of republicanism and social justice in the Kingdom of Serbia and in the Yugoslav monarchy of the Karađorđević dynasty. In 1917, due to the so-called Salonika Trial, he stopped supporting the monarchy, opting for the republican form of government in the future Yugoslav state. The analysis of his views on the convening, membership, and role of the Constituent Assembly in 1920 is of great importance for understanding the circumstances in which the first Yugoslav parliament took place, bearing in mind Jaša Prodanović’s rich political experience acquired in the Kingdom of Serbia. The paper is based on documents from the Archives of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, contemporary periodicals, and relevant historiography.
