In 1843/44 relations between the Austrian administration and Hungary's diet turned to the worse, as economic interests conflicted and Metternich regarded the diet overstepping it's bounds in discussing topics such as the status of cities, educational and economic reform.

A major flaw of the constitution was that it did not mention the national minorities, most notably the Kingdom of Croatia, which technically formed a state in a state as Hungary did within the larger Austrian Empire.
