Summary/Abstract: After 1945 Yugoslavia functioned as a de facto pseudofederation, although as a complex community was determined by the equality of all peoples and related minorities. The dominant centrist paradigm changed evolutionary, with permanent and lasting effects on the society. The 1963 constitution, the Eighth Congress of the LCY, and mostly three sets of constitutional amendments adopted 1967-1971, and the 1974 constitution marked the turning point in the essential change of character of Yugoslav federalism in order to achieve full national equality. Tito's role in the transformation of the federalist framework, although not operational, was inevitable, and expressed through support for new solutions which all people were satisfied with. Yugoslavia became the satisfactory framework for much of its citizens.
