Vidovdan Constitution

1921 · 20th century

The Vidovdan Constitution was the first constitution of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later Yugoslavia, adopted on 28 June 1921, St Vitus's Day. Passed by a narrow majority while Croat deputies boycotted the assembly, it set up a centralised monarchy governed from Belgrade. Croat opposition to it dominated politics in the 1920s, and King Alexander abolished it when he imposed his dictatorship in January 1929.
