Abstract
This chapter deals with the ‘right of equality’ among the nationalities in the Habsburg monarchy, trying to establish whether (and how) the famous Article 19 of the constitution of 1867 proclaiming ‘Equality among the Nationalities’ offered suitable solutions to the complex issue of nationalities in the Habsburg monarchy—or whether, in turn, it contributed to the aggravation of national conflicts. It offers a short overview of the complex composition of the different nationalities and crownlands (Länder) of the monarchy and it deals with the historical development of Article 19, from the first Austrian constitution of 1848 to the constitution of 1867. Using selected examples, the chapter shows the difficulties the implications of Article 19 created in implementing it. Summing up, the chapter points out that the western model of constitutionalism proved to be of little help to the Habsburg Empire on its way to a constitutional state.
