In the first of Czechoslovak republic, mainly under the influence of the normative theory, started many legal researchers to pay attention to public law branches. Administrative law and self-government were not the exceptions. The discussion about self-government was focused mainly on the issue of its function in society. On the one hand, we are confronted with a political concept of self-government, and on the other hand, with a legal concept of self-gov- ernment. The political concept of self-government was based on the historic originality of local authorities and on the idea that self-government is a collective version individual that has natural rights. The theory of legal concept of self-government was based on the fact that, despite the historic originality of the municipalities, the State is the only sovereign on its territory. The mu- nicipality is therefore only subject of its power and its competence is being delegated by the state. Self-government is therefore a collective organization created by state.
