Any state of emergency tests the limits of effective constitutional review. However, the undoing of the Austrian constitutional court in 1933 remains of special interest for legal theory and constitutional governance alike. Not only has it demonstrated the limits of this global pioneer of constitutional adjudication while laying bare the Achilles heel of the once and present system of Austrian constitutional law.
