Abstract
The author presents six propositions of the legal bases of organizing the counties, Croatian government, Parliament, national army, relations of Croatia with Austria, and education, which were created or adapted to Croatian situation by the committees of the Croatian Parliament in 1848 and the Banal Council. These bases are a very important source for studying Croatian national movement in 1848/49 and its fundamental goals like uniting Croatian countries, national autonomy, reorganization of Habsburg Monarchy, formation of Croatian national army, modernization of Croatian society and building up new bourgeois political, state, administrative and educational institutions in Croatia. None of these bases was ever realized because of incompatibility with centralistic and germanizing orientation of the Austrian government which, in Summer of 1849, won over Hungarian revolutionary forces and soon after that abolished traditional Croatian political autonomy.
