| Description | The first part of this paper depicts historical events, which occurred during the February crisis in 1948. Against the background of these events, the second part examines the constituent constitutional aspects of the February crisis. The author approaches them from several angles, rather extreme and schematic assessments of an iusnaturalist, legal normativist, and a Marxist lawyer. The author highlights a certain degree of overrated constitutional legalities applied in the solutions to the crisis. The resignation of non-communist ministers did not give rise to a simple case of a constitutional dispute, which was solvable within the bounds of constitutional rule; rather, it expedited the culminating power struggle, for which Czechoslovakia was heading. |
