Holy Synod

All these general principles are declared subject to the terms of laws to be enacted later. In some cases, the laws bearing on these subjects have not yet been formulated. Up to the present, however, the tendency of all Bulgarian legislation has been in conformity with the principles recited in the fundamental charter.

The Prince has an income of £ 24,000 a year guaranteed him by the Constitution. This income cannot be increased except by the vote of the Sobranje, or reduced without his own consent. The Salic law regulates the succession to the throne. The Prince and his heirs are not permitted to profess any other religion than the orthodox Greek faith ; but an exception is made in favour of any prince who happens, at the time of his election, to belong to any other religious communion. The orthodox Christian faith of the Eastern rite is proclaimed to be the State religion ; and the authority of the Holy Synod, in all spiritual matters, is recognized as paramount. Universal military service is made incumbent on all Bulgarian male subjects, irrespective of race or creed ; but the precise terms of army service are left to be determined by future legislation. Primary education is also declared to be compulsory and gratuitous.

Such are the principal provisions of this curious charter. With the grave exception I have referred to above, this -draft Constitution—framed as it was, necessarily, in extreme haste, and with a very imperfect knowledge of the true conditions of the country—forms a not inadequate charter of Bulgarian liberties. On the whole, it has worked well; the country at large has, apparently, no desire for any fundamental change in its provisions.
