520 3 |a The Fundamental Law of Hungary can serve as a very particular, even though not exceptional, especially in Central European region, example for studying the relationship between history and constitution. With two recent events, this study highlights the timely interest for that matter in Hungarian constitutional law. Also, from the beginning, it renders that history and constitutionalism are closely linked in many aspects, already by the definition of constitutional law. In order to be able to analyse in a very complex Hungarian constitutional context the role of history, first, a methodological problem is solved: a clear distinction is made between past, history and memory – also with the help of the two introductive cases. Second, two risks more for the interpretation of history with regards to constitutional law are recalled: the danger of anachronism and the bad influence of historical interruptions. Especially, the second one is identified as a main factor of impact on the Hungarian constitutionalism when handling historical objects or being simply subject to history. Finally, the relation between past, history, and memory with the Fundamental Law of Hungary is described. On one hand, historical narrative plays an identity-creating role, and as such with constitutional symbols but also the symbolic narrative on national history offered by the Fundamental Law, it is a source of legitimacy in the framework of the Hungarian state. On another hand, the so-call historical constitution brings history to the level of constitutional sources even though in a very abstract and indirect way: the achievements of this historical constitution are to be used as guidelines for constitutional interpretation.
