Криза парламентарног система у Краљевини Србији од 1892. до 1894. године
The Crisis of the Parliamentary System in the Kingdom of Serbia from 1892 to 1894

Summary/Abstract: After the adoption of the Constitution in 1888, King Milan abdicated and ceded the throne to his minor son Aleksandar. During the reign of the Governorship, the time of the abstinent political activities of the crown started, which led to the introduction of the parliamentary regime and enabled the Radical Party to come to power. However, the respect for the rule of the parliamentary majority lasted for a very short time, only three and a half years. After the resignation of Pašić’s government and the making of the minority liberal government in August 1892, the period of unstable constitutionality started, followed by the young monarch’s wishes to empower the rights of the crown as much as he could. In order to weaken the Radical Party, the crown started the fight against parliamentarism, which, in practice, showed clear intentions to limit its rights. The hard fight between radicals and rulers pushed both sides to total extremes – the King was pushed towards the introduction of his personal regime, and radicals were pushed towards the revolutionary declaration. The Constitution of 1888, which enabled the introduction of the parliamentary system, took effect for five years, until the second coup of King Aleksandar in 1894, which brought back to life the Constitution of 1869.
