Political and Other Battles in the House of Representatives – the Establishment and Roles of the Guard of the House of Representatives

Abstract

The House of Representatives was the main scene of political battles during dualism, a place that was mentioned as an “arena” by publicists. This reference was not that far from reality, because – especially in the last decade of the era – violence within the House moved on a wide scale, from verbal aggression to physical violence. To solve this problem, the idea of an independent Guard was born, which started operating in 1913, and formed in political and
other battles. After the establishment, the Guard of the House of Representatives became one of the most important corps of the contemporary law enforcement, the traditions of which were also used by the post-millennial law enforcement.
