Summary/Abstract: On the basis of the Constitutional Act of 15th July 1920, which guaranteed the Silesian Voivodeship extensive self-governing rights, known in practice as the autonomy, a number of interesting constitutional solutions arose that had been previously absent from the Polish constitutional systems. Their practice initiated implementation of instruments characteristic of a constitutional state, determining the scale of democratic systems. One of such instruments was a parliamentary question.
