Summary/Abstract: The three previous Yugoslavias were founded under dramatic internatio­nal and domestic political and war circumstances, under the strong influence and interests of the great European powers and the U.S.A. Due to such circum­stances, their constitutional and legal structures did not have democratic legiti­macy and legality. The irregular and undemocratic procedures by which the constitutions of the all three Yugoslavias were adopted have been the best testimonies to this.
