The aim of the paper is to analyze the activities of the Government Council of the SSR for Nationalities in the years 1969-1970 in the preparation of a bill on the status of nationalities in the Slovak Socialist Republic and the changes that occurred in the Council at the beginning of the normalization process. These changes also affected the preparation of the draft law on the status of nationalities in the SSR and led to the resignation of the Council for the preparation of legislative norms, which were to further develop the constitutional law on the status of nationalities in the SSR. The Government Council of the SSR for Nationalities was one of the institutions formed in Slovakia after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Federation that addressed the issues of nationality. The Council also elaborated the standards for the Constitutional Act on the Status of Nationalities.
