The Hussites' contribution to the transformation of the Czech state
and its influence upon constitutional development were substantial.
Various Hussite factions united over a program known as the Four
Articles of Prague. InThe Four Articles of Prague within the Public
Sphere of Hussite Bohemia, Kamila Veverkova situates the Four
Articles-presented here in a new translation by Angelo Franklin-in
their political and economic context, emphasizing the societal
reforms stimulated by the Hussite theological program. The Hussites
demanded free proclamation of God's word, advocated public
punishment of sins for all estates, rejected the secular rule of
the church, and proclaimed the need to receive communion under both
kinds. With no royal government in the country, the Czech Land Diet
and its appointed administrators exercised practical power. The
Czechs' arduous negotiations at the Council of Basel ultimately
succeeded; the Council adopted the Four Articles of Prague in the
form of the Compactata, which later became part of Czech law
(1436). The Religious Peace of Kutna Hora (1485) expressed the new
constitutional situation, allowing religious freedom. This
unheard-of principle preceded other related legal developments by
several centuries. Hussites permanently changed the form of the
state and law, becoming a model for Europe in the transition from
feudalism to a bourgeois society.
