Beside Antonín Švehla, it was - without question - Alois Rašín, who influenced the process of the coup the most. His vision of the coup was not dull, simple or technological; it was a perfectly prepared and managed action, which was also to be enjoyed by its participants. In the centre of Rašín's thoughts were the preparations of the law drafts (also called The Founding Law of the State and above all The First Law), which should have given a legal framework to the new state. A coup that did not get out of hand and which was, once completed, immediately sealed by a law was his ideal but attainable vision. Rašín was probably the only one who tried to prepare such a law. No other proposal is known. All of this attests to his capabilities as statesman and his ability to act.
