Which constitutional right embedded in the 1974 Yugoslav Constitution provided the formal legal basis for Slovenia's declaration of independence in 1991?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The right of each nation to self-determination, including the right to secession
- Step 1: The 1974 Constitution recognized the constituent republics as states founded on the sovereign right of nations to self-determination, explicitly including the right to secession. Answer: The right of each nation to self-determination, including the right to secession. Why not the others: Tito's lifetime presidency was an individual provision, not an independence ground; regional borders were affirmed rather than abolished; and territorial defence was established as a separate republican arm.
