Summary/Abstract: The 1931 Constitution represents the constitutional legacy of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as it formally belonged to the unified South Slavic state from 1931 to 1946 (excluding the period of the Independent State of Croatia), governed by the provisions of the mentioned Constitution. Drawing from the theory of constitutional law of that period and the constitutional practices of Prussia and France, it is evident that the 1931 Constitution adopted certain solutions and constitutional practices of European states, unlike the Vidovdan Constitution. In this way, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a territory within the former state, assimilated constitutional solutions from contemporary Europe. Before the actual proclamation of the Constitution, discussions on specific constitutional solutions took place in the legal circles of the then Yugoslavia, based on the constitutional practices of other countries.
