Autorica analizira ishodišta prijepora hrvatskih i mađarskih staleža o državnopravnoj pripadnosti Slavonije, aktualna osobito krajem 18. stoljeća i u prvoj polovici 19. stoljeća. Razloge za te prijepore nalazi prvenstveno u organizaciji rada slavonskih županija tijekom 18. stoljeća, u njihovoj upravi ustanovljenoj prilikom reinkorporacije 1745. i osobito u njihovoj podložnosti mađarskome poreznom sustavu. Osim na temelju relevantne literature, rad je izrađen na temelju arhivskoga gradiva Hrvatskog, Austrijskog i Mađarskog državnog arhiva.This paper explores the origins of disputes about legal status of Slavonian Kingdom, led between Croatian and Hungarian estates at the end of the 18th and in the first half of the 19th century. The background of these disputes are set in the 18th century administrative organisation of Slavonian Counties, particularly in establishment of Hungarian tax system in these counties from the time of their incorporation into the Croatian Kingdom in 1745. It is emphasized that the established county administration in Slavonia reflected only the necessary compromise between the interests of the royal sovereignty and conceptions of parliament bodies, and consequently did not prejudice political and judicial jurisdiction of Croatian parliament and banus in Slavonia. However, the initial subordination of Slavonian tax system to the Hungarian Locumtenential Council and to the decision of the Hungarian Parliament, although temporarily taken over by the newly established Croatian Royal Council, had resulted with particular status of Slavonian Kingdom within the Lands of St. Stephen and induced mentioned disputes about its legal dependence
