THE CONCEPT OF CITIZEN IN THE CROATIAN AND YUGOSLAV CONSTITUTIONAL ORDERS FROM 1944 UNTIL 1990

Predmet rada je koncept građanina u hrvatskom i jugoslavenskom ustavnom poretku od 1944. do 1990. godine. U radu se stoga analiziraju najznačajniji ustavni akti kojima je reguliran položaj građanina počevši od ustavnih akata koje su jugoslavenske i hrvatske vlasti donijele pred kraj Drugog svjetskog rata te neposredno nakon Rata. Zatim se analiziraju savezni i republički ustavni zakon iz 1953. godine, savezni i republički ustav iz 1963. godine te savezni i republički ustav iz 1974. godine. Autor je u radu pokazao da je u ustavnim aktima koncept građanina oblikovan sukladno načelima socijalizma što je učinjeno postupnim napuštanjem individualističke koncepcije građanina, snažnim naglašavanjem klasne terminologije te naglašavanjem interesa zajednice u odnosu prema interesima pojedinaca. Uz navedeno, autor ističe da je u ustavnim aktima, ponajviše onim donesenim pred kraj Drugog svjetskog rata i neposredno nakon njega kao i ustavima iz 1974., uz klasnu dimenziju, snažno naglašeno i načelo nacionalne ravnopravnosti građana.The paper relates to the concept of citizen in the Croatian and Yugoslav constitutional orders from 1944 until 1990. The paper deals with the analysis of the most important constitutional acts that affected citizens starting from those enacted by the Yugoslav and Croatian autho- rities at the end of the Second World War and its aftermath. In addition, the paper conducts an analysis into the federal and republican constitutional law of 1953, federal and republican constitution of 1963 and federal and republican constitution of 1974. The paper sets forth that the authorities shaped the concept of citizen in line with the socialistic principles while at the same time gradually abandoning individual approach towards citizens. In addition, it is pointed out that socialistic constitutions emphasized class terminology in their constitu- tional texts and interests of the community over the individual interests. Furthermore, the paper indicates that in the constitutional acts, specifically those enacted in the aftermath of the Second World War and in the acts of 1974, the authority emphasized ethnic equality as an important feature of the constitution
