ABSTRACT<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Serbian nation building  began  in  1815,  with  the  achievement  of  home rule. The Sultan granted autonomy to the Serbs in 1830 and the first constitutional ideas emerged immediately within the framework of designing autonomous institutions by the Serbs themselves. Those ideas were prevailingly modern, although the authors of the constitution drafts for the Serbian vassal state, who remain unknown to date, did not properly understand some western concepts. That was evident in the contacts with foreign diplomats.<\/p>\n

The National Assembly adopted the first constitution in 1835. It was a mixture of the liberal ideas of its drafter with the aspirations of the Prince who favoured un-checked exercise of power. The foreign powers were dissatisfied with the 1835 Constitution and urged the Prince to suspend it only a month after the adoption. In 1838 the  Sultan  gave  a  constitution  to  the  vassal  state  of  Serbia.  It provided  for oligarchy as the form of government and remained in force for decades.<\/p>\n

Neither of the two constitutions relied on a liberal settlement. However, the ideas were slowly developing as regards the pillars of constitutionalism \u2013 the separation of powers, fundamental rights and the rule of law. When teaching of law set foot in Serbia in the 1840s the constitutional concepts exposed in the university were far ahead of the provisions of the constitution in force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
