Summary/Abstract: Tisza István has become the prime minister of Hungary for the second time on June 10, 1913, as the leading figure of the National Work Party, which held the absolute majority within the House of Representative. After the outbreak of World War II, Tisza concentrated his attention on preserving the internal calm of the country and maximizing military potential, governing Hungary with and iron had. Since Tisza already counted as an adept of warlike policy, and Charles IV wished to see someone else as the prime minister of Hungary, the Hungarian prime minister handed in his resignation on May 23, 1917. Thus, the formerly stable government gave way to a new period: a prolonged governmental crisis followed, since the majority within the Parliament continued to belong to the party of Tisza István. The study presents the most important internal political events of the one and a half year period following the resignation of Tisza, with particular emphasis on the debates concerning the amendment of the electoral law.
