Criticism of the Development of the Czechoslovak and Czech Constitutionality, in Particular the Prism of the So-called London Concept of the Reform of the Constitutional Order of the Czechoslovak Republic

Abstract

The article deals with the so-called London conception of revision of the constitutional order of the first republic of Czechoslovakia and its projection into the development of the Czechoslovak and Czech constitutionality after World War II. Firstly, the outline of the deficiencies of the existing pre-Munich constitutional order is outlined.

Next are the de lege ferenda principles to remedy these shortcomings. Finally, the proposals of the so-called London conception of the Constitutional Reform are compared with the subsequent development of the Czechoslovak and later Czech constitutional order.
