Państwowość Litwy w latach Pierwszej Republiki

Abstrakt

In the interwar-period, the democratic state system was introduced in Lithuania. However, the government did not avoid different kinds of mistakes and some other problems in interior and foreign politics. Despite of all these facts it was very important and crucial for forming the statehood of Lithuania

The constitutional regime was based on the rule of citizens' representation in Parliament elected by voting. As the result of the further events and occurrences, the idea of democratic state was undermined, but it should not be an argument for saying that the authoritarian regime in Lithuania was a single case, because it was a general trend in Europe.

The most important is the fact that the main and basic rules of the system in general (also organizations and associations) were brought intro life. This situation was the result of social changes in the structure of Lithuanian nation which aimed to gain pluralistic and representative rules of people in the state.
