1 The extraordinary circumstances surrounding the adoption of the so-called corporative constitution are well known. The text of the new constitution first appeared in the decree of April 24,1934 (Bundesgesetzblatt für die Republik Österreich,No. 70, April 30,1934); it was subsequently given its formal approval by the former National Assembly April 30, 1934 (Bundesgesetzblatt für die Republik Österreich,No.72, April 30, 1934). Simultaneously the title of the official gazette was changed to: Bundesgesetzblatt für den Bundesstaat Österreich.The text of the constitution is reprinted in its first number of May 1, 1934.
