Abstract

On 30 and 31 January 1974, a new Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was adopted by the Chambers of the Federal Assembly, and promulgated by the Chamber of Nationalities on 21 February 1974. The 1974 Constitution is a unique document in that it results from a quarter century of experience with self-management; in no other country has self-management ever survived that long on a nation-wide scale. Neither this Constitution nor the actual practice of self-management is perfect yet, and the Yugoslays are the first to emphasize this. Even in his motion to adopt the 1974 Constitution, Mijalko Todorovic pointed to the preliminary character of the document: By carrying into effect the new social relations, which are also pregnant with new social contradictions, our society will necessarily be faced with new problems which it will have to solve. Because of this, it is indispensable to follow the development of society in a comprehensive, scholarly and scientific way, constantly and critically to re-examine our own practice, to detect new laws emerging from the soil of new relationships, and to determine conditions for the solution of these problems. (The Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, 1974, p. 48)
