The parliament, together with the national councils of the Czech and Slovak republics laid the foundations of parliamentary democracy during this period.

He took part in many discussions of the national and federal representatives on constitutional questions. He was a supporter of political agreement between representatives, and he also applied this policy in the Federal Parliament.
