Bezpieczeństwo religijne w II Rzeczypospolitej. Rozważania na kanwie ustaw z dnia 21 kwietnia 1936 r.
The religious security in the Second Polish Republic. Considerations based on the Acts of April 21, 1936

Summary/Abstract: Two laws signed on April 21, 1936: on the relationship of the State to the Muslim Religious Union in the Republic of Poland and the relationship of the State to the Karaim Religious Union in the Republic of Poland are examples of interests properly secured by the state authorities in relations with so-called minority religious associations. The legislator clearly defined the limits of interference by state organs in the activities of Muslim and Karaim communities in the territory of the Republic of Poland in the interwar period. Maintaining the privileged position of the Catholic Church in Poland resulting from the March Constitution, the authorities also ensured the possibility of conducting business activity with other denominations, but on different terms. The purpose of the article is to point out specific regulations regarding the relationship between religious organizations and authorities of the Polish state during the formation of the new statehood.
