Третото велико народно събрание (1886–1887). Проблеми и задачи
The Third Grand National Assembly (1886–1887). Problems and Tasks

Summary/Abstract: After August 9, 1886 when Prince Alexander I Batten berg was dethroned, Bulgaria sank into a grave political crisis and faced the problem of looking for and electing a prince for its throne. The facts concerning the appointment of regents, the convening and the work of the Third Grand National Assembly and the search for a candidate for the Bulgarian crown are all well known. In the article these questions are, therefore, examined from a different angle: towhat an extent the cases with the formation of a government, a vicegerency and a regency after an abdication were covered by the Turnovo Constitution that was then in force, to what an extent they conformed to the Constitution. Attention focuses also on the result of the elections held for the Grand National Assembly, and also on the activity of the national representatives which to a high degree was only formal. The Assembly, which sat for several months, had one task only: to approve the election of a prince whom others had sought, approved and proposed to the Bulgarian people.
