Summary/Abstract: No one imports radicalism to the Serb people from some outside place. On the contrary, it emerges from the customary law, from Serbia’s overall social reality. And, above all, it emerges from the Serb family commune…The origins of the Serb radicalism are in the people itself, in its legal notions and customs. For our people, behind the façade of a written constitution there is always an unwritten constitution that is based on customs and need not make the foundation of the other, official one. No one from outside imposes radicalism on our people, on the contrary – radicalism arises from the custom law, from Serbia’s entire social reality. (‘Serb Radicalism,’Odjek, May 7, 1889.)
