Description The article examines Act No. 337/1920 Coll. as a key instrument of crisis governance in the early Czechoslovak Republic. It shows that despite the democratic nature of the state, the Act enabled a significant transfer of legislative power to the government in response to the post-war economic and social crisis. The study analyses its adoption, application, debates on constitutionality, and long-term effects in a broader Central European context.
