It focuses on the position of&nbsp;the&nbsp;president in the context of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Czechoslovak constitutional tradition and authoritarian challanges, which were typical from&nbsp;the end of&nbsp;the&nbsp;1930’s. The problem of continuity and discontinuity of&nbsp;the&nbsp;state and law is also&nbsp;an&nbsp;important part of the paper. The Slovak constitution was&nbsp;adopted&nbsp;in 1939. The influence of the Southern-European fascist and authoritarian models were strong&nbsp;during the process of constitution-making, but the Czechoslovak constitution&nbsp;of&nbsp;1920 also had&nbsp;an&nbsp;impact&nbsp;on the legislator.&nbsp;Although the president&nbsp;of Slovakia,&nbsp;Jozef Tiso arrived from the Slovak Catholic and autonomist movement, he became the symbol of&nbsp;pro-Nazi&nbsp;collaboration during the second world war. Tiso had two positions – he was the Slovak president and paralelly the leader of the Hlinka Slovak People Party, which was a&nbsp;dominant political factor in Slovakia.&nbsp;A special act regulated the position of this party and its leader in the constitutional and political system.</em></p> ER -
