Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes various proposals, which, proceeding from different political positions and concepts, demand substantive changes in the constitutional and political system, particularly in the concept o f socio-political communities (commune, province, republic and federation). The author opts for considerably radical changes — basing his conclusions on an analysis of past experience, but with the aim of a fuller implementation of the fundamental postulates o f the 1974 Constitution. This would enable the associated workers to pool more freely their labour and resources on the who le territory of Yugoslavia, making the pooling o f labour and resources an increasingly important form of integration among Yugoslav nations on the foundations of self-management. In order to eliminate the negative tendencies immanent in the political system itself; in order to strengthen also the political power of associated labour; in order to reduce the excessive influence of executive and administrative bodies, the author suggests the constitution of the assemblies of all socio-political communities as assemblies of associated labour and of organized workers and all working people in other self-managing organisations and communities, as well as a substantial modification of the constitutional status of executive councils and of administrative agencies.
