This paper examines the Austrian Republic under the control of the Allied powers. In April 1945, Austria was released from Hitler's Nazis, and came under the control of the Allies. Under various restrictions of the Allied powers, Austrian political parties, the provisional central government, and provisional local governments played an important part in the reconstruction and democratization of Austria. The Austrian provisional central government enacted the Provisional Constitution of 1945, which declared Austria a combined legislative and administrative power, and a centralized, united state. After a while, federalism was restored by an amendment of the Provisional Constitution. In December 1945, the Federal Constitution of 1929 came into effect again, in place of the Provisional Constitution of 1945. In 1955, the Austrian Republic recovered complete sovereignty and, still more, declared itself a permanently neutral state.

This paper examines the Austrian Federal Constitution of 1934. The Austrian Federal Republic Constitution of 1929 did not bring satisfactory results for all Austrian people, but produced conflicts between some political parties. In such unstable political conditions, the federal government made an attempt to abolish Austrian democracy, and suspend parliament (Nationalrat) and the constitutional court (Verfassungsgerichtshof). A new constitution (Verfassungs 1934) was proclaimed on 1st May, 1934. This constitution was passed by a rump parliament (Rumpfparlament) composed of only the Government party. This constitution aimed at “a Christian, Germanic, federal state based on corporatism.” The president and the federal government exercised state power instead of parliament, which was an advisory body. On 13th March 1938, the Austrian Federal State (Bundesstaat Österreich) became one state (Land) in the Third German Empire because of the unification of the two nations, and Austria fell under the control of the legislative, administrative and judicial power of Germany.

This paper examines Constitutionalism and its development in the AustrianEmpire in the 19th century. The Empire established three constitutions or fundamental principles between 1852 and 1867.These are Das Silvesterpatent,Das Oktoberdiplom and DasFebruarpatent . They were absolute and aimed at the centralization of government.However Das Februarpatent in particular established parliamentarism, despite being only inappearance,and so formed the basis of later Austrian Constitutionalism.
