Hungarian State

The Hungarian State was a short-lived state that existed for 4 months in the last phase of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848–49.

On 2 December 1848 Ferdinand V of Hungary "abdicated" in favour of his nephew Francis Joseph.
The Hungarian reform laws were based on the 12 points that established the fundaments of modern civil and political rights, economic and societal reforms in Kingdom of Hungary. Franz Joseph refused to accept the reforms of the Hungarian April laws. Franz Joseph also arbitrarily "revoked" the laws. This was an unconstitutional deed, because the laws were already signed by his uncle King Ferdinand, and the monarch had no right to revoke parliamentary laws which were already signed. The Habsburg government in Vienna proclaimed a new constitution, the so-called Stadion Constitution on 4 March 1849. The centralist Stadion Constitution provided very strong power for the monarch, and marked the way of neo-absolutism. The new March Constitution of Austria was drafted by the Imperial Diet of Austria, where Hungary had no representation. Austrian legislative bodies like the Imperial Diet traditionally had no power in Hungary. Despite of this, the Imperial Diet also tried to abolish the Diet of Hungary
The Austrian Stadion constitution also went against the historical constitution of Hungary, and tried to nullify it too. The revoke of the Hungarian April Laws and reduction of Hungary's territory and traditional status within the Habsburg Monarchy, prompting a renewal of the Hungarian Revolution. These events represented a clear and obvious existential threat for the Hungarian state.
