Slovenia's efforts to create a parliamentary system of governance began in the late 1980s. As the relative balance among Yugoslavias republics shifted following the death of Josip Broz Tito in 1980, the respective Communist Leagues began to press for changes within their own republics as well as for a realignment of federative relations. In October 1989, the national Assembly of the Socialist republic of Slovenia adopted constitutional amendments that raised the possibility of secession and enacted a multiparty system. This was not a sudden change, because several political parties and civil movements had already emerged. At the same time, organizations under the umbrella of the League of Communists of Slovenia (LCS) were becoming more independent and Differentiated in accordance with their ideas for the countrys further development. In April 1990 the changing political landscape provided the setting for the first multiparty, democratic elections for the national Assembly and for the presidency of the Socialist republic of Slovenia.
