Constitutional Act On The Czechoslovak Federation
The Constitutional Act on the Czechoslovak Federation (, ) was a constitutional law in Czechoslovakia adopted on 27 October 1968 and in force from 1 January 1969 to 1 January 1993. It converted the previously unitary Czechoslovak state into a federation.

As part of the Prague Spring reforms, Communist Party leader Alexander Dubček, himself a Slovak, sought to grant more autonomy to the Slovaks. Indeed, the resulting reform was virtually the only product of the Prague Spring to survive the Soviet invasion. The promulgation of the Constitutional Law of the Federation amended fifty-eight articles of the 1960 Constitution of Czechoslovakia concerning government structur ...
