Summary/Abstract: The author pleads for sweeping changes in the system of delegation, proceeding from the substance of the constitutional concept of the political system of socialist self-management. In his opinion, the normative and institutional model of die delegational system has not been consistently operationalized in conformance with the fundamental principles of the 1074 Constitution, which explicitly state that the holders of power and self-management are the organized working people In basic self-management organisations and communities. The author suggests that many unnecessary compromises have been struck with the representative system in the course of the construction of the normative model, especially in the incorporation of social-political organisations into the assembly system and in the organisation and functioning off executive councils. On the basis of the findings of numerous studies of the delegational system, the author proposes changes in the functioning and composition of chambers of assemblies and in the functions and organisation of executive councils, in order to eliminate the unnecessary compromises and the old solutions typical for the representative system.
