Außerordentliche Gesetzgebungsbefugnisse im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert
Any state of emergency tests the limits of effective constitutional review. However, the undoing of the Austrian constitutional court in 1933 remains of special interest for legal theory and constitutional governance alike. Not only has it demonstrated the limits of this global pioneer of constitutional adjudication while laying bare the Achilles heel of the once and present system of Austrian constitutional law. Even more importantly, it continues to raise fundamental questions as to the role of legal doctrine and the influence of legal theory in such crucial moments for the rule of law which this paper seeks to address.
