Außerordentliche Gesetzgebungsbefugnisse im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert
Although the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918–1938) certainly was a democratic state, there were enabling acts even during this period. Their purpose was to react to the Great Depression and to enable a transfer of legislative power from the parliament to the government in certain sectors (e.g. agriculture). In December 1938, a considerable interference occurred in the constitutional system of the First Czechoslovak Republic – the Enabling Act was issued, practically abolishing the legislature of the parliament and transferring it to the government and the president. The 1938 Enabling Act was subsequently also used in the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1939– 1945).
