Ústavnoprávne pomery po zániku Československa v roku 1939
Constitutional law after the demise of Czechoslovakia in 1939

Summary/Abstract: The study is a response to the events organized on the occasion of the anniversary of the 1938 and 1939 historical events in the interwar Czechoslovakia, which determined further development trends throughout the Central European Space. The author has sought to find a connection between the open denial of democratic principles in the management and administration of society on the territory of the former Czechoslovakia at the end of the thirties of the last century and its development in the coming decades. In this sense he presents the constitutional and legal aspects of development on the territory of Czechoslovakia after its disintegration in mid-March 1939. He shows how the situation has evolved in Slovakia, in Subcarpathian Rus´ as well as in the territory that became the protectorate of Nazi Germany. It therefore analyses the Constitution of the Slovak Republic, describes the political relations in Subcarpathian Rus´ after the establishment of autonomy and its integration into Hungary. S. Konečný also presents the situation in Bohemia and Moravia after the declaration of the Protectorate and the establishment of the German administration on this territory. He criticizes the authoritarian and totalitarian elements in the political and legal systems in these regions that were part of Czechoslovakia. In the opinion of the author, it was precisely these that caused negative developments and some conflicts that they were stepping up during the Second World War and have been the cause of many losses, injustices and tragedies. Concerns, ambitions, but sometimes also efforts to rehabilitate ideology and politics in the post-war period have often led to new deformations that also affect our presence.
