Summary/Abstract: This work deals with political organizing of the Czech and Slovak minorities during the 1920 Constituent Assembly elections, the emphasis being on the founding and the activities of the Czechoslovakian Progressive Peasant Party and the Slovakian People Party, their political demands and the means and results of their realization. This work also investigates the motives of Czech and Slovak political organizing and taking part in the elections, but also the similarities and the differences on that path and whether a mutual political cooperation took place and to what extent. Political organizing of the Czech and Slovak minorities and the election campaign that followed reveal a completely unknown picture about those minorities, especially since the existence of political parties of minorities, as a sort of a background, gave the strength and the support to deal with all political adversaries, which, in the end, reflected on the results of the elections.
