abstract
The author deals in her article with the conceptions of the Czech historian and politician Frantisek Palacky, as they appear in his two constitutional proposals of 1848/1849 and in his Ideas of the Austrian State of 1865. ln both constitutional proposals Palacký had in mind also the enhancement of the position of the Czech Crown. In his first concept Palacky based the territorial segmentation of the Austrian monarchy on the regional principle, in the second concept the aspects of the language and the nationality dominated. In the articles of his study The Idea of the Austrian State, Palacky returned to the regional principle. The author stresses the meaning of Palacky’s ideas for the present, the time of the European integration. Although in the atmosphere of strong centralist government tendencies his ideas of an Austrian federation were not realized, some of them represent a strong inspiration even for the present Europe and the European Constitution. It is the stress on the equal rights of nations (national states), the self-government of lesser territorial units (communities) or far-reaching competence of the countries and their high importance for the decision making of the state. But it is especially the principle of a democratic parliamentarianism that presents an unavoidable condition for the further development of the European Community.
