Social constitutionalism consists in enshrining second-generation human rights in the Constitution and implementing them with systematic support from the state. This complex phenomenon is a kind of middle ground between liberalism and socialism, which is usually referred to as “social liberalism” or “social democracy”. The paper is a case study focused on the social constitutionalism of Mexico and Peru in the first half of the 20th century, which was the period when the solid foundations of this type of constitutionalism were formed in both states. At the same time, Mexico is the world leader in the introduction of social constitutionalism (1917). Peru was the second Latin American country in which this phenomenon appeared (1920). Mexican and Peruvian social constitutionalism are thus the two oldest and also to a large extent, but not completely, similar constitutional arrangements of second-generation human rights in the Latin American area (right to education, right to private property limited by its social function, workers’ rights, social security and others). At the same time, these are relatively complex legal arrangements that have stimulated fundamental social, economic and political transformations in both Mexico and Peru.

This paper analyses the state of contemporary Polish historiography about the history of Ukraine in the first half of the 20th century, a very dramatic period in Polish-Ukrainian relations, with a high emotional charge, influenced by political and ideological elements. Olha Morozova’s book is an important voice in the historiographic Polish-Ukrainian discourse. The author indicates different aspects linking the history of both nations, but without passing over the difficult or even dramatic moments of their common history. The book enriches contemporary knowledge about Polish historical thought, prompts Ukrainian and Polish historians to reflect and perhaps reorient their findings and assessments. Olha Morozova takes the position of continuing the calm Polish-Ukrainian dialogue, eliminating the emotional and ideological elements as much as possible.

After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, the Hungarian economy developed quickly, and the Hungarian political elite sought ways to help it grow with a new, up-to-date regulation. To that end, the National Assembly adopted a new commercial code in 1875, a new promissory note act in 1876 and a new bankruptcy act in 1881. In this paper, I examine the liability of bankruptcy trustees on the basis of leading cases of the Hungarian Supreme Court whose decisions determined the Hungarian legal practice. It is an interesting part of Act XVII of 1881 because it has a close connection to the general private law. Since bankruptcy trustees were responsible for determining the amount of bankruptcy assets, the issue of creditor control of the trustee’s activity was important. In addition, the provision of the Hungarian bankruptcy act concerning the bankruptcy trustee’s liability was the same as the German Bankruptcy Act of 1877, thus creating a good opportunity to compare the German and Hungarian viewpoints in this question.

The present-day national structure of Slovakia is, among others, the result of a long-term population and residential development, to a high degree conditioned by migrations, but also by political interventions from above that also influences the formation of linguistic frontiers and regions. The study aims to present a general overview of the ways how ethnicity (ethnic identity) was perceived from the point of view of statistics (official state censuses) to characterize the basic sources for the study of ethnicities in Slovakia and thus to sketch the ethnic composition of Slovakia at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century according to the atributes valid and observed in the studied period.
