metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article analyzes the reasons for the rejection of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of
  Germany by Bavaria in May 1949. The main contradictions were associated with the aspiration
  of its leadership to establish the supremacy of the lands in relations with the federal
  center, which was considered by the leading parties of post-war Germany as excessive and unacceptable
  for federal structure. An important role was also played by the specifics of relations
  with the Bizone authorities and the increased influence of the Bavarian government in interzonal
  politics, which reached its apogee in the middle of 1948. In this regard, the politicians
  of the ruling party of Bavaria — the Christian Social Union — tried not only to consolidate
  political and financial guarantees to the lands in the prospective federal structure but also to
  establish possibilities for broad influence of the land government on federal policy. However, a
  small number of representatives of Bavaria in the interzonal bodies forced them to constantly
  maneuver between significant concessions to other fractions and an open protest against their
  decisions. After exhausting all of the possibilities of a compromise with the Christian Democratic
  Union and the Social Democratic Party of Germany, the Christian Social Union deputy
  group and the Landtag rejected the Basic Law, but at the same time declared the obligatory
  observance of it and the aspiration to further participate in German affairs (the position ‘Our
  “nay” to Bonn, our “yea” to Germany’). Such a decision not only removed political responsibility
  from the Bavarian side, but also actualized the Bavarian question in the future West
  German state.
