Abstract
Analysis of the work of state institutions of Lithuania at the time when the Provisional Basic Law was in force on the territory of the Republic of Lithuania (1990-1992) and when the statehood of the Republic was being re-established and consolidated, should give an evaluation of their work in creating legal rules.
Study of the peculiarities of the constitutional process of that period leads to the conclusion that the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania, which played an exclusive role in the field of policy and law, had a considerable influence on legal regulation of the public relations, thus strengthening the legal foundations of the state.
The present article specifies the main aspects of the constitutional status of the Presidium that were related to the activity of creating legal rules. This issue is revealed through the assessment of the Presidium’s work in creating legal rules and through evaluation of its work where the Presidium coordinated and initiated deliberation and enactment of relevant legal acts. Analysis of the work of the Presidium in this context shows that the Presidium’s political will expressed in legal acts was an important factor determining the content and the form of the lawmaking of that period.
