Little Constitution. Piłsudski, the head of the state

Was known in advance, that it will be difficult to rule Poland against Piłsudski and that his exaltation for the position of the head of state will be the least encountered objections. However, no party, not excluding liberation, She did not wish him a preponderation. Everyone believed heavily, that power comes from the nation, and the expression of the will of the nation is the Sejm. These trends were reflected in the so -called. a small constitution with 20 February [1919 r.], which Piłsudski, not without resistance, signed. In fact, they were like new Henrycja articles: 1/ The sovereign power will be the legislative Sejm, whose law will be announced by the Speaker of the Sejm, 2/ The Head of State is a representative of the state and the highest contractor for the resolutions of the Sejm, Each of his state act requires an appropriate signature of the minister, 3/ The head of the state appoints the government on the basis of an agreement with the Sejm, 4/The head of the state and the government are responsible before the Sejm for holding their offices. The main author of the small constitution was the people, lawyer Franciszek Bardel. Piłsudski's dedication and the temporary constitution were made by a unanimous resolution of the Sejm. You could foretell harmonious cooperation, Since Piłsudski, Right on the first day of the Sejm, At the opening of the chamber, he declared, that "the Sejm will be the home of his native master and host again, that he is to adopt the constitution, create a strong army, delete, Ultate industry and adopt the necessary agrarian reforms in the spirit of progress and great Western democracy ".

In fact, each of the problems raised here covered the embryo of a fight between parties and classes, and the Sejm will break down deeper, the more willingly he will listen to Piłsudski to these temples ("Durences", as he called them), who whispered to him, that he is the greatest of the Poles, that it is a source of law, He should not take into account the god of deed and especially in foreign policy. The Chamber's most important task was, of course, to adopt the constitution, but the most urgent consolidation of a healthy state economy. The regency council was thinking about the first time. Established a commission, which composed the draft system for the constitutional monarchy. Paderewski's government wrote a survey among experts, where Michał Bobrzyński led Rej. It was created under their pen [25 January 1919 r.] Design of the Republican Constitution, based on the balance of the authorities. Nationalists' projects began to influence the Marszałkowska Laska, liberators, socialists, Piastowcs, Constitutional work club and others. It was already visible, that various clubs, especially based on class bases, will treat the legislative task in terms of satisfying the material needs of voters. The second most urgent task of the constituency was in the field of currency and treasury. The Moraczewski government took over the occupiers and reinatcient "National Loan Fund", [It was broadcast] banknotes (Polish brands) without gold and without moderation. The later ministers of the treasury tried to curb such an economy: Intelligible, Carpinian, Biline, But all this was in vain, when the upper classes gave little, The lower ones demanded too much, And the Old Polish addiction of life over the state was overwhelmed with both society, like a young bureaucracy. Piłsudski listened to the drains in the Legislative Sejm and enjoyed the lack of majority not without hidden hope, that some leftist factions are helpful to control the situation and to capture war and imprisonment policy.
