Summary/Abstract: The period from 1918 to 1929 in the history of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was marked by numerous political and parliamentary crises that had a negative impact on the legislative work of the National Assembly. Various sociopolitical circumstances also rendered the legislative work in the first ten years of the existence of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes inert and without significant success.After King Alexander set up his dictatorship on January 6, 1929, a time of huge legislative activity followed. One of the main goals of the new regime was equating the laws with the enforcement of new laws.During the dictatorship of King Alexander main characteristics of the rule of law such as constitutionality, the distribution and balance of power, civil rights, the permanence and immobility of judicial position were abolished. But on the other hand, this period in the history of Yugoslav state saw a vast legislative activity that has resulted in a series of laws of great importance.
