Neutral State, Christian State. Reflections on the 7th (2018) and 9th (2020) Amendment of the Fundamental Law of Hungary with Historical Context.

The Hungarian parliament ratified the Fundamental Law of Hungary on the 25th of April 2011, and adopted a new church policy the very same year: Act CCVI of 2011 on the right to freedom of conscience and religion and the legal status of churches, denominations and religious communities, also knowns as the Ecclesiastical Act, short: EHTV. The preamble of the Fundamental Law refers to the Christian traditions of Hungary and the role Christianity played in binding the nation together. The in-effect preamble of the EHTV declares the ideological neutrality of the state and establishes four different legal classifications and rules for religious communities. In 2018 (7th amendment), Article R) of the Fundamental Law was expanded by some paragraphs. The terms "Christianity" and "creation" (genesis) were newly introduced into the Fundamental Law only through the amendments. In my study I wish to talk in the context of historical lineage about the 7th and 9th amendments, and their relevancy to fundamental rights in the jurisprudential (legal theory and practice) context of a neutral or Christian state.
