ABSTRACT
One of the goals of the transformation beginning in 1989 in Hungary was to create a constitutional regime, for which it was indispensable to institutionalize some means for the protection of constitutionality. According to the "republican" amendment of the constitution of October 23 1989 and the Act on the Constitutional Court framed simultaneously the first Constitutional Court in Hungarian legal history started to function on January 1, 1990. The Constitutional Court of Hungary has an exceptionally wide jurisdiction even in international comparison since in the beginning it had to control the activity also of the former, not quite legitimate, parliament. In the concurring opinion attached to the ruling, Peter Schmidt agreed with the merits of the decision, according to which the judicial organizational law is not unconstitutional. The development of the Justices' Activism with respect to social rights was interesting under the Solyom era.
