Book Description
The new Hungarian Basic Law, which was ratified on 1 January 2012, provoked domestic and international controversy. Of particular concern was the constitutional text's explicit claim that it was situated within a reinvigorated Hungarian legal tradition that had allegedly developed over centuries before its violent interruption during World War II, by German invaders, and later, by Soviet occupation. To explore the context and validity of this claim, and the legal traditions which have informed the stormy centuries of Hungary's constitutional development, this book brings together a group of leading historians, political scientists and legal scholars to produce a comprehensive history of Hungarian constitutional thought. Ranging in scope from an overview of Hungarian medieval jurisprudence to an assessment of the various criticisms levelled at the new Hungarian Basis Law of 2012, contributors assess the constitutions, their impacts and their legacies, as well as the social and cultural contexts within which they were drafted. The historical analysis is accompanied by a selection of original source materials, many translated here for the first time. This is the only book in English on the subject and is essential reading for all those interested in Hungary's history, political culture and constitution.

Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in Hungary provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and administrative regulations. The discussion of the form and structure of government outlines its legal status, the jurisdiction and workings of the central state organs, the subdivisions of the state, its decentralized authorities, and concepts of citizenship. Special issues include the legal position of aliens, foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the constitutional relationship between church and state. Details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for both practising and academic jurists. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Hungary will welcome this guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative constitutional law.

The key concepts of the theoretical inquiry are sociological and normative legitimacy, majoritarian and partnership approach to democracy, procedural and substantive elements of constitutionalism.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hungary: Its Constitution and Its Catastrophe Ancient Constitution; at another, for the laws of 1848 and the legitimate King Ferdinand V.; at another, that they were ani mated with the spirit of the Social and Democratic Republic; and at last, that the contest was exclusively against the House of hapsburg-lorraine. It is not' very difficult to perceive the inconsistency of such Opposite statements; but it is not easy to understand how utterly irreconcileable the first and most plausible assertion was with the facts of the case, Without some acquaintance with - the Ancient Hungarian Constitution, which was perhaps more peculiar in itself, and more curiously interest ing than its elder sister, the far-famed British constitution - that standing enigma to centralist statesmen. Such an assertion was specially adapted to conciliate the sympathies of England; and it might have prevailed in the absence of more complete informa tion, had not the striking fact of the party of the Mountain, in the French Chamber, supporting heartilythe cause of the Hun garian insurrection, been calculated to awaken suspicmn. N 0 order of things was ever more at variance with the principles of the Social and Democratic Republic than the Ancient Consti tution of Hungary. It is therefore excusable for those who are interested in the progress of rational freedom, to. Make inquiry before they pass judgment in this matter and if the result of such 1nqu1ry should have led them to conclusions at variance with many notions in circulation on the subject, to make such conclusions known, that the truth of them may be more generally appreciated if they are correct, or the error, if they be erroneous, refuted.
