Examined is the political activity of Josip Hohnjec, one of the most prominent politicians of the Slovene People’s Party in the period of the formation of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and during the first years of its existence. A Catholic priest and a declared Republican, Hohnjec was particularly renowned for his learned and well-prepared speeches at the National Assembly in Belgrade, generally on Yugoslav foreign politics and endeavors to preserve, or establish, territorial integrity of the Slovene territory. Until the Croatian Peasant Party changed its political orientation in 1925 he was also a principled proponent of a revision of the Vidovdan Constitution, particularly in regard to its provisions stipulating state centralism and national unitarism.Avtorica se v razpravi ukvarja s politično dejavnostjo enega najvplivnejših politikov Slovenske ljudske stranke v času oblikovanja Kraljevine Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev in v prvih letih njenega obstoja. Katoliški duhovnik republikanskega prepričanja Josip Hohnjec se je v beograjski Narodni skupščini odlikoval z dobro pripravljenimi skupščinskimi nastopi s področja jugoslovanske zunanje politike in s prizadevanji za ohranitev oz. vzpostavitev ozemeljske celovitosti slovenskega prostora. Do preloma politike Hrvatske republikanske seljačke stranke leta 1925 pa je bil tudi načelen borec za revizijo vidovdanske ustave, zlasti v členih, ki so določali državni centralizem in narodni unitarizem
