Abstract

The paper aims to determin the constitutional status and the authority of the king under the Constitution of the Kingdom of Serbia of 1888 in comparison with the constitutional competences of other contemporary European rulers. One can note a similarity between the status of Serbian king and rulers of the European countries with a written constitution considering the monarch’s prominent role in many areas of domestic and foreign policy. Following models offered by the constitutions of the Wester European countries, Serbian constitution-makers of 1888 proceeded with reception of formal mechanisms aimed at strengthening of limited government, separation of powers and parliamentary accountability of the executive. The author concludes that, regarding the position of the monarch, the Constitution of 1888 represented one of the more liberal documents of its time, and that, in certain matters, the king of Serbia was exposed to greater constitutional restrictions than was the case with the rulers in some other European monarchies.
