The regime began after Prince Alexander I suspended the Tarnovo Constitution and sought broader authority to govern the young principality. The State Council was meant to support this exceptional political arrangement, but it also symbolized the tension between constitutional government and princely power in Bulgaria\u2019s earliest years after liberation. The institution was abolished in November 1883 after the restoration of the Tarnovo Constitution. The episode is important because it shows how fragile the new state\u2019s constitutional order still was, and how quickly debates over authority, parliament, and monarchy emerged.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>September 14, 1943 \u2014 Dobri Bozhilov\u2019s Government Is Sworn In<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On this day in 1943, Bulgaria\u2019s 60th government, headed by Dobri Bozhilov, was sworn in. The cabinet took office shortly after the death of Tsar Boris III and during the most difficult phase of World War II for Bulgaria. The country remained aligned with Nazi Germany, while Allied pressure increased and the Soviet Union\u2019s advance changed the strategic situation in Europe. Bozhilov\u2019s government faced a shrinking room for maneuver, economic strain, and growing uncertainty over Bulgaria\u2019s future. It remained in office until June 1944. The date marks a wartime political transition at a moment when the old regime was approaching its final crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Explore more of Bulgaria\u2019s story on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bronicable.com\/en\/\">Bronicable<\/a><\/strong>, including our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bronicable.com\/en\/category\/from-above\/\">Bulgaria From Above<\/a><\/strong> series and our guides to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bronicable.com\/en\/category\/bulgaria\/\">the best of Bulgaria<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Continue with <a href=\"https:\/\/bronicable.com\/en\/on-this-day-in-bulgaria\/on-this-day-in-bulgaria-september-13\/\">September 13<\/a> \u0438\u043b\u0438 <a href=\"https:\/\/bronicable.com\/en\/on-this-day-in-bulgaria\/on-this-day-in-bulgaria-september-15\/\">September 15<\/a>.
