Abstract

Summary On the basis of the electoral law adopted in 1920, the Constituent Assembly of 1921 acted according to the temporary rules of procedure which stipulated that the members swear an oath to the king, and that, after the completion of its task, the king dissolves the Assembly. The paper examines the extent to which these preconditions were there to legally bind the Assembly when it comes to deciding on the form of state. This matter is important for a closer determination of the legitimacy of the constitution under which the new state will be governed for the next ten years, until the king imposed the new one, in 1931.
